| In a sentence | The freehold interest under a block of leasehold flats — a small income stream plus a reversion, and the subject of active legislative demolition. | A share of the income a song earns whenever it is streamed, played or licensed — a genuine annuity, priced as a multiple of recent earnings. |
| Unit | One freehold title | A percentage of a catalogue’s income |
| Smallest realistic trade | A single reversion, often a few thousand pounds | Institutional for catalogues; fractional platforms exist |
| Settlement | Conveyancing, with statutory rights of first refusal to leaseholders | Assignment of rights, with income redirected at source |
The fingerprint measures how demanding a market is to take part in. It is not a rating or a recommendation.
