How do I find out if a property is leasehold or freehold?

Most property for sale comes with particulars that state whether it is leasehold or freehold. The estate agent should also be able to tell you. 

You can find out for yourself by searching for property information on the HM Land Registry website. 

The publicly accessible register shows who owns a property, its full address, and whether it is leasehold or freehold, and when the lease runs out.  

It is free to search the property summary, which should indicate the type of tenure, but there may be a fee for other services.
