Ground rent investment specialist to grow by £30 million.

Landmark Investments Group, the Bolton-based ground rent investment and management specialist, has ramped up its growth plans with a target to purchase £30million worth of ground rents nationwide.

Approaching its ten-year anniversary, Landmark Investments Group has recently grown its management team and confirmed the financial support of its banks and syndicated investors, which will enable its business targets to be met.

Owner/director, Mark Hawthorn predicts £450m (based on 120,000 units with 90% being leasehold at £250pa average each) of new pipeline stock will become available this year and aims to secure at least 10,000 units.

Focusing on its prime region, the North West, Landmark Investments Group will also continue to expand in London and the South as well as targeting larger blocks in all major cities.

Mark Hawthorn of Landmark Investments Group, comments, "With the Government's Kickstart Initiative and funding slowly being released back to the property industry, this year poses a fantastic opportunity for us to pick up a lot of the available stock and further enhance our profile. We can benefit developers and housebuilders in many ways by adding value to their assets that, in some cases, they never knew existed.

Even recently, lack of internal resources and management expertise have left developers with no choice but to forgo the additional value and profit they can gain. We're excited about assisting them out of a stagnant market and demonstrating the true value of ground rents on their developments."
