What is Residential Leasehold?

Whilst leasehold is a form of ownership, this differs drastically from residential freehold. Although you can own a property for some time with a leasehold, this will typically be a lease from a landlord that possesses a residential freehold.

How Does This Differ from Residential Freehold?

Whilst you may be a resident of the leased property, a leaseholder owns the residential property for a certain duration whilst the freeholder will own the land it resides upon and the air rights above. As a leaseholder, this could vary from 99 to 999 years.  Your ownership durations will be displayed within your lease terms and agreements upon which we can offer you clear and friendly legal advice.
