2 major benefits of buying a leasehold

It can be very difficult getting on the property ladder and because of the expense involved many people choose to rent instead.

Becoming a leaseholder could be a better solution. In a previous article we explained the difference between buying a freehold and a leasehold; freehold is where you own the property and the land outright and leasehold is where you lease the property from the freeholder for a particular period of time.

However, if you are considering buying a leasehold property you should make sure that you choose a property with a long lease otherwise you can expect the value of your lease to quickly decline.

Negotiating investment terms

Before you begin looking for an investment opportunity it’s important you know how to invest in a business. Once you are ready to make an investment in a business you must remember that the negotiation process is the start of a long-term business relationship so it’s crucial that the partnership gets off on the right foot.

Both parties should have the similar long term objectives and therefore the investment should reflect this and ideally it should be balanced. Previous experience within the industry you are investing in counts for a lot and most businesses will be looking for expertise as well as capital value.
