Could someone please point me in the right direction for buying ground rents for the sole purpose of investment.
Thanks.

There is lots of information if your house is leasehold and you want to buy that. Buying other leaseholds for investment purposes is pretty thin.

I'm developing a property into flats which I am going to sell. Is there a standard way of valuing ground rents such as 10 x annual income or something like that?

You'd value them according to the annual return. So if you want to get 7% per annum it would be worth paying £1400 for £100 annual income. You'd want a premium to normal investment rates because its a fairly low liquidity asset.

After researching them for f  king ages at work I'm the GR king. At the moment it's a bit of a weird valuation industry with no set standard. most are valued on a crude income multiple of 20-25x Lease structure pays a big part with the best being 125yr, RPI linked reviews every 10 years. Smaller units at auction often a premium as the person who owns the lease often bids far far too high. I have a model I've created which takes into account lease length, reversion, marriage, possibility of extension etc etc. much more accurate than Multiple methods Alot of people think of them as long secure bonds paying 5%+,

It's 18 times 1 year's ground rent income. There's no yield calculation (7% etc).

I will send you a pm when I have a bit more info. I am just about to start the building work so will probably be another 6 months from now until I will be ready to sell.
