The Property Registration Authority (PRA) deals with applications under Part III of the Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (No. 2) Act 1978, whereby owners of leasehold properties can purchase their ground rent (freehold interest).
Further details of this Ground Rents Purchase Scheme can be found on the PRA website (www.prai.ie). The PRA is independent in the performance of its functions.
