21 Questions 🏡🩵
Is the property freehold or leasehold?
Why? Because it can affect what you actually own, what you pay, and what you’re allowed to do with the property.
A freehold usually means you own the property and the land it sits on.
A leasehold means you own the right to use the property for a set number of years, but there may be ground rent, service charges, lease length issues, and restrictions to check.
It’s not just a small detail. It can impact your mortgage options, future costs, resale value, and whether the property is right for you.
So before you fall in love with the kitchen, the garden, or the location, ask the important question:
Freehold or leasehold?
