REVERSIONARY INVESTMENTS (GROUND RENT INVESTMENTS)

Reversionary investments, commonly known as ground rent investments, occur when all apartments within a property have been sold on leases. These individual leases usually contain a low annual payment (ground rent) that provides a source of income to the Freeholder. This accumulative income, together with the right to receive the apartments back when the leases eventually expire, provides the Freeholder with an additional return to his investment.
