Investing in apartment blocks for maximum returns

We collaborate with institutional partners to identify the best possible opportunities in the property market. Our team of property investment experts can help you find apartment blocks for sale in popular locations across the UK, letting you take advantage of locations with strong rental demand while also benefiting from off-market and discounted opportunities direct from the developer.

When done correctly, buying an entire apartment block can offer significant financial benefits. Landlords receive multiple income streams from each flat or apartment, which lessens the risk of missed payments and void periods, while also giving you more control due to your full building ownership.

How does it work?

In an apartment block or a multi-unit freehold block (MUFB), each residence is held under a separate freehold title, so no lease is enforceable on any unit. There are various arrangements for this property type, such as purpose-built buildings or flats, or homes that have been converted into flats. Common arrangements for this property type include:

  • There are multiple apartments, each with a separate tenancy agreement per resident/family.
  • There are private areas in each apartment that can only be accessed by the tenant.
  • Each household has its own entrance.
  • Some apartments have common areas like gardens or hallways that are available to all residents.

Why invest in an apartment block?

A landlord may choose to boost the capital value of their investment by acquiring an apartment block and then creating a structure with each unit having its own leasehold title. By purchasing an entire block of units, institutional landlords can generate inflation-proof returns and high incomes over time.

Some of the other main benefits include:

  • You’ll be more protected from void periods and loss of rent due to the various rental income sources.
  • In contrast with more traditional buy-to-let investments such as family houses, MUFB properties can offer higher rental yields.
  • Affordable rental properties are in high demand, particularly in city centres or areas within close proximity to business hubs, universities and transport connections.
  • The process of purchasing multiple apartments within one building can be less complex than investing individually in multiple flats.
  • You can attract a wide range of tenants, from students to working professionals and families.
