Top housebuilders have been dealing with Gray’s Inn Estates for many years. Repeat business only comes as a result of delivering a consistently excellent service. We can provide excellent references from many senior figures in the housebuilding industry. We are a privately owned organisation not subject to the same procedural constraints affecting public or institutional investors.

Larger investors often require multiple committee approval before offers can be submitted and processed. Larger investors often invest in a diverse range of investments, some of which take priority over ground rents. At Gray’s Inn Estates, our core business is ground rent investment. Therefore we can move much faster when making offers and processing deals and you are assured of our immediate attention.

Ground rents are often relatively small transactions for housebuilders to collect. In such buoyant market conditions it makes sense for the builder to not only release the value in their ground rents but also to release staff resources to concentrate on more profitable matters. As stated previously, we do not manage properties. We collect ground rents directly from the leaseholders; all service charges and management issues are dealt with by professionally accredited managing agents. We achieved the Investors in People award first time and we invest in our people to ensure that leaseholders are provided with a polite and pleasant service.

Should leaseholders require information to dispose of their property, we turn around the request from their solicitors very quickly and have a policy of holding a document for no longer than 72 hours. It is our view that house builders, when selling property, are selling their brand and by selling to us we retain the quality of service and a commercially orientated, but kind, approach towards leaseholders. This will ensure they retain brand loyalty from the purchasers of the various units and, most especially, there will be no adverse publicity. We are pleased to confirm that has been no adverse publicity regarding Gray’s Inn Estates in over two decades of acquiring ground rents.

Gray’s Inn Estates is also an entrepreneurial business where the Director in charge has the necessary background and decision-making capabilities to ensure that deals are conducted appropriately and intelligently. We have found that some buyers often do not have experienced or imaginative staff to make quick decisions, thus hindering progress. This often results in many deals simply stalling and never completing.
