‘We have been involved in a number of ground rent disposals where they were best on price and chosen as preferred bidder. Groundrent Fund were extremely efficient and dealt with the legal work in a timely manner. We would not hesitate to work with them again.’

‘We recently had dealings with Barrie of Groundrent Fund. During negotiations we found Barrie to be very knowledgeable and helpful. He conducted himself in a professional way and dealt with matters in a speedy timeline. We can highly recommend doing business with Groundrent Fund.’
Martin Addrison
Retired Solicitor
‘I manage a portfolio of freehold ground rents for my wife, and we get frequent approaches from people describing themselves as agents or principals interested in buying specific properties, and usually respond inviting a written offer. When we started to plan the retirement disposals of some ground rents we kept records of the responses – many of which did not make a written offer and had no relevance to either what we had asked or the property itself.
Barrie’s was clear simple and straightforward so we are progressing several sales with him, and he has been speedy and efficient, serving Section 5 Notices and using his own in house solicitor, which is a significant benefit as many solicitors do not “get” how simple sales and purchases can be.
In short I am glad we kept Barrie’s details.’
Derek Huckle, FRICS
‘I wanted to reduce the freehold side of my property portfolio and opted for private treaty sale rather than auction.
Groundrent Fund were recommended to me by a fellow chartered surveyor so I approached them and within a very short time they made a swift and acceptable offer for a collection of some 30 ground rents. They also undertook to deal with the preparation and service of the necessary Section 5 Notices at no charge and to handle subsequent enquiries.
I found them to be most approachable, knowledgeable, professional and with a strong team at their disposal. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.’
