Freehold ground rents are created when a building is built or converted into multiple accommodation units. The individual flats are then sold individually on a lease drawn up by the developer, which can vary in length. The developer (freeholder) retains the ownership of the land that the building sits on and charges the lessees a small annual ground rent.

Reversionary ground rents are where the leases have under 80 years left. There’s a high demand for these types of properties, so we’re always keen to discuss how we can achieve the best price for your property.

Not a problem. Our clients are willing to cover the cost, meaning an even greater saving for you. In some cases, these may not be necessary at all, such as when a property has just been built or if it’s the sale of a company.

Landlord Testimonials

Grainger Plc is one of the largest property landlords in the country and management of garages was taking up a disproportionate amount of time of my staff. Courtman & Co took over the management of the garages and parking and we now have sites fully let, and they provide a very good service with detailed reporting each quarter.
Ross O’Donovan MRICS

Grainger Plc Block management

I’m very confident that the income has been maximised – so confident I’m buying another 3 (garage) blocks through them which they will manage for me as well. I still can’t get over how good they are!

The management of our garages was taking up a lot of time and money relative to our housing and commercial portfolio. Courtman & Co managed everything expertly and now we have a fully let investment, and all the hassle has been taken off our hands. We’re also impressed with the detailed reporting each quarter.
