Ground rents

The Challenge

Ground rent investors in the UK are facing significant challenges due to recent regulatory changes. The government has implemented reforms to protect leaseholders, including capping ground rents on new leases to zero, this drastically reduces the income stream for ground rent investors. Additionally, there is growing pressure to reform existing leases, which could further erode returns.

As a result, the once profitable ground rent market is now much less attractive, leaving many investors with devalued assets and limited prospects for future earnings. Many are having their funding lines pulled or reduced.

This led us to the following question:
How can you create long term sustainable value for Freeholders?
