Overview
The Old Victorian School Leases Ltd is a boutique holiday let and serviced accommodation business based in London, holding the long leasehold interests in seven fully refurbished apartments within a characterful Victorian school conversion. The business is offered by way of a 100% share sale, giving the incoming purchaser full ownership of the company that holds all seven individual apartment titles, along with the existing secured mortgages within the company structure. This arrangement provides a tax-efficient and cost-effective acquisition route, with meaningful savings on stamp duty, legal fees and lending charges compared with a conventional property purchase.
The portfolio has a proven track record of short-term and serviced accommodation bookings and presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to step into a turnkey, fully managed operation from day one. With all seven apartments already operational and a management structure firmly in place, the business requires minimal hands-on involvement from its owner and is well positioned for continued growth across leisure, corporate and long-stay markets.
