Investors in the UK have two options for title deed qualifications. The methods of buying a house or apartment sale are carried out in two ways: full ownership (freehold) or long-term leasehold sale. With the Leasehold method, ownership is provided for a period ranging from 100 to 1000 years and the land where the property is located does not belong to the purchaser. An annual price is paid for the land and as time passes, the sales price must decrease. In the purchase of Leasehold housing, it is obligatory to obtain permission from the property owner for any renovations to be made to the residence.

Full ownership can be obtained in detached houses and some residential buildings, and this is called freehold or sharehold. In both of these types of sales, the house and the apartment are deeded together with the land in the name of the purchaser and no other price is required.
