  • No ground rent payable to the government
  • Greater flexibility for development and transfer

Best for

Buyers seeking long-term investment, agricultural land, or family homes with no time limit on ownership.

Leasehold

Leasehold grants ownership of the land for a specified period, typically 99 years for residential or 999 years for some agricultural leases, after which ownership reverts to the lessor (often the government). Governed by the Land Act 2012, Part VIII.
