1.Freehold: Freehold properties are those on which the owner has the absolute ownership of the land or the buildings that stand on that land. The owners of freehold properties are in a position to do whatever they wish with the properties as long as it is in accordance with the local planning regulations.
2.Leasehold: These types of ownerships primarily mean a long term tenancy which includes the right to own, use, and occupy the properties for a long period. The term can be between 99-999 years and the properties can be purchased or sold within that term. Depending on the number of years left on the lease it can be termed as long lease or short lease.
3.Equitable: This type does not actually mean ownership of property. According to equitable possessions there are liens on the property. A lien is a debt which has not been paid and therefore the debt is attached to the title of the property. These debts are usually claimed when the property is sold.
