Perhaps they would like a copy?

Super interesting -

But what is the difference between lease and freehold?

Leasehold is when you buy the right to live in the house for usually 99 yrs then ownership goes back to the person leasing it then another person buys a lease.

Freehold you own the house and land outright for ever.

Hi

Would there by anything for Ideal Homesteads built around 1935/36 in Wandle Road, Beddington, Nr. Croydon, Surrey, please.

Many thanks

Ah, thank you Emjaybee.

But if one left the house that was leased before the 99 years, one could sell the lease to sone one else?  - The only time I have heard of such a 99 year lease in Denmark, where I live, was conserning some land that the city council of Copenhagen leased some land to a private estate building society that build some terraced and semidetached houses to let to their members.

Copyhold - would this mean that the copyholder paid party with work on the owner's land?

So in leasehold you actually own the house for the 99 year period? And you don't have to ask if you want to do alterations to the house? Or does one only own the right to live in the house?

Were deeds of freehold and laeseholds registered by the authorities? I am particulary interested in a house on 27 Blenheim Road, St. John's Wood, Marylebone, London, that my gr-grandparents moved into in 1897; it was said in the family that the house was a part of her dowery and that she owned the house. But later my gr-grandfather sold it without even telling her that he did.

Then they moved to 24 Abinger Road, Bedford Park, Fulham, that was in 1910 ca. I wonder what these houses cost at that time.

The lease was owned by the purchaser, but the owner of the leased property would still control what could be done to it.

Within the 99 yrs period the lessee could sell on the lease to a third party.

The houses detailed in the book are being sold for between £400 and £700, London would be more, as the year is 1897 and before the book was published I can only guess property must have been in the £400 area. A great deal of money in those days.

Copyholders lived on a small parcel of land and were there under an agreement with the Lord of the Manor, copyhold was passed down to the next generation.

MENTMORE:

I will find the book and post a reply later today.
