What is Freehold Property?

Freehold ka matlab:
Aap land aur property dono ke poore malik ho — bina kisi time limit ke.

✔️ Key Points:

• Aapko kisi authority se permission nahi leni hoti bechne, gift karne ya renovate karne ke liye

• Title ownership aapke naam hoti hai

• Future generations ko bhi easily transfer ho jata hai

• Zyada valuable aur marketable hota hai

Example:
Most residential plots, independent homes ya builder floors jo DDA ya private developers se directly kharide jaate hain.

What is Leasehold Property?

Leasehold ka matlab:
Aap sirf ek certain period ke liye property ka use kar sakte hain (usually 30, 60, ya 99 years), but land ki ownership kisi authority ke paas rehti hai.

❌ Key Points:

• Land government ya development authority ke naam pe hoti hai

• Aap rent ke jaisa ek “lease premium” bharte ho

• Property bechne ya modify karne ke liye authority ki approval chahiye

• After lease expiry, renewal ki zarurat padti hai (aur kabhi-kabhi tension bhi!)

Example:
Delhi Development Authority (DDA), Noida Authority, etc. ki kai properties leasehold hoti hain.

Freehold vs Leasehold: Quick Comparison Table

Factor	Freehold	Leasehold
Ownership	Full ownership	Limited-time right to use
Permissions Needed	Not usually	Yes – for sale, renovation, etc.
Resale/Transfer	Easier	Requires approvals
Market Value	Higher	Comparatively lower
Renewal Needed	No	Yes, after lease period ends

Should You Convert Leasehold to Freehold?

YES, agar:

• Aapko long-term ownership chahiye

• Future resale ya loan lena plan hai

• You want freedom from government approvals

Conversion ka process:
Authority mein application, stamp duty payment, fees + documents… (thoda paperwork, but worth it)

Conclusion: Apna Ghar Sach Mein Apna Ho Toh Hi Acha Lagta Hai

Agar aap secure, long-term ownership chahte hain — go for Freehold.
Agar budget tight hai ya authority se deal karna theek lagta hai, tab Leasehold bhi option hai.

But always read the fine print. Real estate mein ownership clarity = future peace.
