In the case of a leasehold, you own the property only for the length of your lease agreement. It is ultimately a long term rental. Therefore, a leasehold property is still technically owned by the landlord, also known as the freeholder. The leaseholder, or tenant, has the right to use the property for the duration of the lease. Once the lease expires, ownership reverts back to the landlord. Our leasehold  property solicitors and lawyers will work with you to know your rights and obligations.
