It’s not common, that’s why there’s a news article about it.

But they aren’t buying the stairs. The stairs are worthless. They’re buying the land underneath.

As far as I understand the stairs are disconnected from the adjacent property and unused.

edit: here’s the first article when it was still up for sale: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jul/30/step-to-rich...

They aren’t buying the land either, it’s a leasehold.
