Ground Rents and Freehold Reversions

For investors who want genuinely passive income

When you own a freehold reversion, you own the land and the building in law while long leaseholders occupy and look after the homes on it, paying you a ground rent. It is one of the least hands-on forms of income residential property offers, and this book explains it honestly. It sets out how leasehold works in England and Wales and why ground rents exist, and asks you to assess whether a specialised asset with a moving legal target fits your temperament and resources. You will see the four moving parts of a freehold reversion in plain terms, what you genuinely need to begin and which barriers beginners misjudge, and a focused thirty-day plan to become competent to look. A chapter covers the mistakes that cost beginners the most, and the book ends with the valuation question you must answer next, because what you pay decides whether the income is worth having. Next in this series: “Valuing a Reversion”.
