Explain freehold and leasehold
When someone owns a freehold property, they own it outright and can do with it as they please. A leasehold property is one where the owner leases it from a landlord. The landlord generally retains control, and the lessee must adhere to rules and regulations. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, so it's important to weigh them carefully before making a decision.
