Buying a Block: Multi-Unit Freeholds for Serious Investors

For the investor tired of buying one flat at a time

A multi-unit freehold, or MUFB, is one freehold title containing several self-contained homes, bought and run as a single asset. This book explains why investors who have bought one flat at a time turn to blocks, where the real complexity sits and who the strategy genuinely suits. A candid self-assessment asks about your letting experience, your deposit and finance, your reserves and your willingness to be responsible for a whole building rather than a single tenancy. You will see the five moving parts of the model: sourcing and purchase, valuation and finance, letting and income, the building and its obligations, and value creation and exit. A ninety-day plan takes you from building your foundations and learning the market to viewing, investigating and making an offer. The book closes with the costliest beginner mistakes, from appraising a block like a single flat to getting tax and structure wrong at the start. Next in this series: “Valuing an MUFB”.
