Freehold to Leasehold Title Splitting

15 minutes

Simon examines the innovative strategy of freehold to leasehold title splitting, a method that allows investors to create equity from existing properties. Building on the previous discussion of creative finance, the episode outlines how to identify opportunities in the property market where freehold buildings have already been converted into self-contained units.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Understanding Freehold to Leasehold Title Splitting: This strategy involves purchasing a freehold property that has already been divided into individual self-contained units

Investors can find suitable properties by searching platforms like Zoopla or Rightmove for larger properties (8 or more bedrooms) that have been split into individual units

When evaluating potential investments, it's crucial to ensure that each unit is at least 30 square meters, has separate utility supplies (electric, gas, and water), and that the purchase price is less than 75% of the cumulative value of the individual units.

Potential for Increased Value: By creating leases for the individual units, investors can significantly increase the property's value. For example, purchasing a property for £200,000 that can be valued at £300,000 after lease creation can result in £100,000 of equity.

BEST MOMENTS

"The freehold to leasehold strategy really is property magic, because you literally create equity from thin air."

"It's very important that you find apartments or flats where they are fully self-contained and they do not have shared kitchens or shared bathrooms."

"Most landlords who own these buildings never bothered to create the leases because they didn't need to."

"This is an advanced strategy... I'm giving away this strategy on this live online training because I want to help you make more money."
