Abstract

The effect of land leases as opposed to freehold tenure on selling price is investigated for income property in proximity to the city centre. Hedonic estimation with multiplicative and additive models in a cross-section analysis is used to estimate the relationship between property characteristics on the one hand and selling price on the other. If land leases are valued by the market as the present value of the lease payments independent of other property features, an additive lease component should be appropriate. If, on the other hand, the valuation of the land lease aspect is not independent of other property features, a multiplicative lease component should be appropriate. Theoretical arguments can be advanced for either point of view, making it interesting to study the issue empirically. A sub-issue of interest is the effect on value of distance to the city centre. The sample consists of major apartment buildings centrally located in downtown Stockholm sold during a selected three-year period.
