Leasehold for Sale in the UK

Leasehold land refers to land that is owned by a freeholder and rented to a leaseholder for a specific period. Most UK leases last between 99 and 125 years, with some terms as long as 999 years. Despite the leaseholder owning the property and its land for the leased period, ground rent and service charges must be paid to the freeholder.

Due to the limits on how the land can be used or developed, leasehold land tends to be cheaper compared to freehold land. The freeholder also maintains responsibility for segments of the grounds and property, as set out in the lease, which lowers the costs, risks, and responsibilities for the leaseholder.
