About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of ground rent clauses and tenant notice situations for landlords.

Could a doubling ground rent clause be a hidden opportunity, or a deal-breaker you can’t afford to ignore? And what happens when your tenant gives notice but then refuses to leave? Your questions answered on today’s Ask Rob & Rob. (00:45) Charlie’s got properties with ground rent clauses that double every 25 years. Will lenders play ball? Rob B explains why leverage is everything here, and why the upcoming Leasehold Reform Bill could change the game of ground rents. (03:47) Ryan’s tenant gave two months’ notice but their onward move fell through, and his incoming tenant moved elsewhere - putting him back at square one. How can landlords best protect themselves in situations like this? Rob D breaks down where landlords legally stand. Enjoy the show?
