What is a Freehold?
Answers to your property related questions from the Arnold and Baldwin team.
A Freehold is the complete ownership of a piece of land and all immovable structures built on it.
If you buy a freehold, you’re responsible for maintaining your property and land, so you’ll need to budget for these costs. Most houses are freehold but some might be leasehold, usually through share-ownership schemes.
