Auckland law firm shares leasehold vs freehold property pointers

Considering buying a property?

Now the question is Leasehold vs Freehold?

You’ve seen a very affordable leasehold property. What are the pros and cons?

Leasehold title

• Lessee buys the house but not the land.
• Lessee rents land from the lessor (ground owner).
• Lessee pays regular ground rent.
• Conditions sometimes apply for house upkeep.

Freehold title

• More common than leasehold.
• Homeowner owns house and land.
• No ongoing obligations to pay any other parties.
• Freehold title may become leasehold to provide rental income following sale of the buildings.
