Definition
In Indian real estate, a Freehold Property grants the owner absolute ownership of the built structure AND the underlying land, in perpetuity. The owner is free to sell, lease, or renovate the property (subject to local zoning) without requiring consent from any state authority, unlike a Leasehold property.
Practical Example
A buyer purchases an independent villa on a Freehold plot in Delhi. Fifty years later, the buyer's children decide to demolish the aging villa and build a modern 4-story apartment block. Because the land is Freehold, they only need municipal building plan approval, not land-use permission from a lease grantor.
