Savills releases ground rents survey data

Savills has revealed details of its survey into the ground rents market. Among its key findings, the survey reveals that there has been strong demand for ground rent investments over the past 12 months from a wide range of investors, with lease terms of over 80 years being the most attractive in terms of length.

Investments that are linked to Retail Price Index are the most favoured while terms with fixed review patterns offer the least appeal to investors. Furthermore, a higher interest environment could mean pension backed funds have less appetite for investing in ground rents.
