What Are Ground Rent Investments?

A ground rent is an annual payment made by leaseholders to a freeholder for the land on which a property sits. When you buy a ground rent investment at auction, you are purchasing the freehold interest, often secured by multiple leasehold flats or houses.

These investments offer:

• Steady passive income
• Long-term ownership
• Minimal maintenance responsibilities
• Capital growth potential when leases approach expiry or via enfranchisement

What to Check Before Buying Ground Rent at Auction

• Lease lengths (shorter leases may boost value)
• Annual rent income & review frequency
• Service charge clauses (typically managed by leaseholder)
• Reversion rights or potential for lease extension income
• Legal pack for title information and lease terms
