At Ground-Rent.co.uk, we are specialist ground rent buyers and sellers of freehold interests across the UK.

With cash funds available for immediate acquisitions, we can complete transactions quickly and efficiently, helping you realise the value of your asset without delay.
Why Sell Your Ground Rent?
Owning a freehold and collecting ground rent can often feel like more hassle than it is worth. From chasing non-payment of rent and service charges to managing disputes with leaseholders, the administrative burden can quickly outweigh the benefits. By selling your ground rent, you can:
Release the capital tied up in your freehold.
Avoid the ongoing costs of management, insurance, and administration.
Pass on responsibility for dealing with maintenance and problem leaseholders.
Achieve a clean break and enjoy peace of mind.
As experienced ground rent buyers, we specialise in acquiring all types of freehold ground rents, including those that other buyers may avoid.
What Types of Ground Rents Do We Buy?
We buy almost every type of freehold and ground rent, regardless of size, structure, or complexity:
Residential ground rents single houses, converted properties, or blocks of flats.
Reversionary ground rents where leases are approaching expiry.
Problem ground rents where leaseholders are absent, service charges are in arrears, or disputes exist.
Commercial or mixed-use freeholds properties combining flats with shops, offices, or other premises.
Ground rents with or without income we buy both income-generating and non-income producing freeholds.
No ground rent is too small or too complex. If you are unsure whether your property qualifies, contact us for a no-obligation discussion.
The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 is changing the ground rent landscape permanently. A £250 cap on existing ground rents is expected to come into force in 2028, and leaseholders now have stronger rights than ever to buy their freehold, at terms set in their favour. For developers holding retained freeholds and individual freehold owners alike, the window to sell at full market value is narrowing. If you’re considering disposing of a freehold or ground rent portfolio, now is the time to get a valuation.
Our Ground Rent Buying Process
Selling to professional ground rent buyers should be simple, and we work hard to make the process as straightforward as possible:
Initial enquiry Contact us with details of your freehold. We aim to respond within 24 hours with an initial view.
Section 5 notices If required, we will assist with serving statutory notices giving leaseholders the right of first refusal.
Decision and offer Once notices expire, we can move quickly, often completing within days.
Completion We handle all paperwork, liaising with solicitors and ensuring funds are transferred promptly.
From start to finish, our priority is to reduce stress and deliver certainty for freeholders looking to sell.
Expert Help with Section 5 Notices
Under UK law, most freehold sales require that leaseholders are given first refusal under Section 5 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987. This process can be confusing for those who have not dealt with it before. We can prepare and serve the necessary notices on your behalf, ensuring compliance and avoiding costly delays.
Once the statutory time period has elapsed, we are able to complete the purchase quickly, taking over all responsibilities associated with the freehold.

What Is Ground Rent?
Ground rent is a payment made by leaseholders to the freeholder of a property, typically when flats within a building are sold on long leases. While these rents may seem small, they represent ownership rights, management obligations, and potential future value when leases shorten or expire.
Freeholders often underestimate the time and effort involved in managing these assets. By selling to dedicated ground rent buyers, you can unlock the value of your freehold today while avoiding the ongoing responsibility.
