What is a leasehold?

A leasehold sale is the sale of a business only, so this sale does not include the land/property. As a result, a leasehold operator or business owner will pay rent to a landlord as part of the business outgoings. A leasehold business value or selling price is determined by proving and establishing the businesses profitability multiplied by a yield or ROI (return on investment) to the purchaser.

Our unmatched industry experience gives us the skills and expertise to accurately determine your leasehold business value. Our detailed analysis gives us the best opportunity to highlight your business potential to buyers. 

What is a freehold?

A freehold going concern is a sale of both a business and property sold concurrently. For advertising purposes there is only the one sale price even though we are effectively selling both the business and the land/property at the same time. A freehold going concern value or selling price is determined by proving and establishing the businesses profitability multiplied by a yield or ROI (return on investment) to the purchaser.

Once again, MHB delivers results when selling your business and property together as a freehold. We’re in constant dialogue with the industry, and we understand the market better than anyone. Being able to promote your freehold going concern backed with accurate data is what helps as achieve results for our clients.

What is a passive investment?

A freehold passive investment is the sale of land or property only which does not include the sale of a business. A freehold passive investment sale is based on the rent that the leasehold owner pays to the landlord.

Data is the key to understanding the value of a freehold passive investment, and selling also requires current market and industry knowledge. We’ve got our fingers on the right pulses, meaning we can accurately promote your land or property as a valuable investment to buyers. We take a targeted approach to all such sales, highlighting the position of the current business, the future potential for growth and a buyer’s long-term ROI. All of this information comes together as a neat package that gives confidence to buyers.

What are management rights?

Management Rights is the business of onsite caretaking and letting with a Community Title Scheme (Strata Titled).

The business owner (‘manager’) is typically required to own and reside in a lot, (unit, apartment, townhouse), within the building or complex. As a result, the manager is a member of the Body Corporate / Owners Corporation.

The manager will generally have a base salary component included in their contract paid by the Body Corporate. As well, they have the authorisation to lease available lots within the scheme on behalf of the owners.

It is estimated that by 2050, 65% of Australians will live in Community Title Schemes, with many of these complexes being operated under Management Rights. This is a great time to call us about getting into this growing industry.
