Made an informed judgement based on the tone of the evidence

1) Professional scepticism
2) Speak to my own land team

30
Q

How did you account for ground rents? Why are they an issue? How do you account for them?

A

Gov. indicate they will remove. Prudent developers are not accounting for them.

Harder to get a mortgage on an “onerous” ground rent (i.e. double every 10 or 20 years or over 0.1% MV - depends on bank). Therefore need a cash buyer (who will want a discount)

Find comps on similar terms, investment method

Pass onto buyers in their lease

Extinguish by paying lump sum to freeholder (capitalise ground rent into perp)
