[QUOTE=Bikertov;64704761]No offence to anyone, but you're all wrong.
Freehold / leasehold is something totally different a mortgage.
Firstly, Freehold is where you own the land outright and forever, on which a property may or may not be built.
Leasehold is where you rent the land on which a property is built for a period defined in the lease. This period is often initially quite long, like 125 or 999 years. The Lease can be sold on. You pay Ground rent on the land, usually a 'nominal' amount hence the term 'peppercorn' rent. Usually the lease will detail who is responsible for maintenance including 'common parts' that the freeholder owns.
A mortgage however is totally different. It is a term used to describe the security given against the repayment of a loan. If you default on the agreed repayments of the loan, the person who holds the mortgage can sell the mortgaged item (usually a property) to recover the money lent. You can take out a mortgage on a freehold or leasehold property.
In the context of a house or flat, it can be sold by the mortgage company to get their money back that you still owe them.
So you can own a freehold or leasehold property with or without a mortgage (security against a loan) on it.
Hope that clarifies the difference.[/QUOTE]

I think I did, but none seemed to address what a mortgage was, only about the leasehold / freehold part. So I explained that too for completeness and context.0 -
