Tenanted

Freehold block of three flats in LS15, sold as one title to an investor in my network. Tenancies were already well managed, so the sale went through cleanly.

Not financial or investment advice. Figures are as let at the time of purchase. They are not a guarantee of future performance, or that similar stock will be available.

Why buy a block

One purchase, one set of legal fees and several rents. You own the whole building, so you control the repairs and the costs, and one empty flat doesn't stop the income.

What I check before you see it

That the flats sit on one freehold title, how many are let and at what rents, how long the tenants have been there, and any arrears.

Splitting the title later

Some investors later split a block into separate leasehold flats. It can add value, but it needs legal and lending advice first, so treat it as a possible upside rather than part of the numbers. I can put you in touch with a solicitor who handles title splits.

Questions

Common questions

Can I get a mortgage on a block of flats?

Yes. Lenders call these multi-unit freehold blocks, and a number of buy-to-let and commercial lenders cover them. Rates and loan sizes vary more than on a single flat, so a specialist broker helps. I can introduce you to one who arranges this lending.

Do I pay a service charge or ground rent?

No. You own the freehold, so you set and pay for the upkeep yourself.

Can I see the rents for each flat?

Yes. The deal pack lists each flat with its rent, tenancy and how long the tenant has been there.

Can I view the property?

Yes. Viewings are arranged with the tenant, with proper notice, once you have read the pack and want to go further. A viewing doesn't hold the property, though: it stays on the market until the reservation fee is paid, so if you want it, move quickly.

What does it cost to buy through you?

Registering and receiving deal packs is free. If you buy, there is a buyer's fee of £3,000 or 2% of the price, whichever is higher. The fees page has the details.
