All three of these concepts represent certain rights to ownership of real estate. Freehold almost always only applies to houses and townhouses as well as the full ownership represents not only the building, but also a piece of land on which it is located. Leasehold on the contrary, in most applies to apartments, and gives you the exclusive right to tenure on loan for a certain period of time (a maximum of 999 years), and usually for a nominal annual rent - from 25 to 500 pounds per year. Technically, if the leasehold is over 100 years old, it is, in fact, does not affect the value of the object, but more than 999 years, is considered the virtual and the price such facilities are real estate freehold.
The relatively new concept of Share of Freehold, arose after the reform of 2002 and means that the building was purchased by all owners of apartments in it, who created the company, officially owns the building. Each apartment has its own "ownership interest" and the proportional part of the shares in the company, the owner of the building.
