The Progressive Property Podcast Title Splitting Masterclass with Rachel Knight
Join Kev as he talks to title-splitting expert Rachel Knight. Rachel talks through the implications of the recent announcements by the government that will release positive opportunities for property investors. She also reveals her unique strategy for getting high value from her properties with less work than you may think!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Title splitting is the creation of leasehold from freehold.
- The government are looking at changing the current system of leasehold/freehold to common value. This means the value will be in the lease, no longer the freehold.
- Think outside of the box, Rachel reconfigured two flats she owned together to make 3 luxury 2-bed apartments.
- The number 1 advantage to title splitting is you get the capital growth from day 1.
- This title-splitting strategy can work in any area.
- You need the right people to understand this title-splitting method, not every solicitor will know how to achieve it and neither will all banks.
- You can title split at any point, not just when you are buying or selling.
- If you split before you may want to sell, it means you can sell flats individually to retail buyers, not just to another investor as a ‘job lot’ of flats as many people do.
- Title splitting is a good way to diversify your portfolio. For example, switching your SA to single let or vice versa.
