| Property | What differs |
|---|---|
| Leasehold house | A purchase of the relevant house freehold may be possible by agreement. |
| Flat | Freehold ownership often involves other leaseholders and shared building interests. |
| Maisonette | Its appearance does not settle the legal structure; check title and lease. |
| Shared ownership | Check the provider and specific lease restrictions before choosing a route. |
Choose the right advice
If you own a flat or maisonette, first establish the ownership structure and consider specialist advice on the applicable route. Do not use a house estimate as though it applies to a whole building.
Your questions, answered
Does a share of freehold remove my lease?
Do not assume it does. The legal structure needs to be assessed.
Is a maisonette treated as a house?
Not necessarily. The lease and titles determine the position, rather than the entrance or appearance.
