Surely the income from property is so large these days that there must be companies that sell shares of properties, for a fee or a proportion of the increase in value.

REITs are securities that represent shares in real estate. A good index ETF holding REITs is ishares Cohen and Steers Realty Majors Index Fund (ICF). It closed today at 87.81. If you want broad diversification in REIT securities, this one is worth looking at. I do not own ICF myself, but have considered it before.

REITs, however, don't be so sure about the rate of return going forward. It could grow, but possibly not as fast as the last 5 years. Consider some diversification: gold, silver, stocks, bonds and, of course, real estate!
As for where? Brokerage accounts are the usual method.

Yes check in stocks and share listings in Reputable News Papers, such as financial times.

This occurs when a property is built on leasehold land. The householder owns the freehold, but he pays a ground rent to the landlord (owner of the land). Quite common

REITS are the answer to your question. They pay nice dividends too.
