Selling your ground rent portfolio

A ground rent portfolio can be a great investment – a large return for very little initial outlay. But what happens when you decide to liquidate your assets and sell your portfolio? Who buys ground rent investments?

Specialist services and developers who only deal with ground rents investment opportunities are always looking to purchase both freehold blocks and single purchases. Often, their clients are people who have been left ground rent portfolios in wills or other legacies. These clients, although they may benefit long term from the portfolio, may not want the administrative headache of managing a portfolio of ground rent properties. Planners can also maximise their assets by selling ground rent portfolios at the planning stage. It takes a special kind of company to tackle these sorts of deals - a company that are aware of all the legal implications and problems of managing a ground rent portfolio. A company like us – Cash4GroundRents.

If you want to sell any ground rent arrangement, speak to an expert before beginning the process.

Any sale must be preceded by a consideration of any long-term leaseholders that have been served with a Section 5 notice of your intention to sell. This gives them an opportunity to purchase the ground rents for their own properties at a price stated on the notice. If you don’t feel confident about tackling this situation on your own, then this logistical headache can be dealt with by a financial advisor, and your leaseholders have two months to respond and then a further two months to nominate a purchaser.

The law surrounding the sale of ground rents is a highly complex and specialised area, which is why the alternative of selling to a company that specialises in ground rent portfolios can take the stress out of selling.

By talking to an expert, you can liquidate your assets quickly, giving you a great return on your original investment.
