English land tenure

English land tenure refers to the legal framework governing land ownership and rights in England. It defines how land can be owned, used, and transferred. The main types of tenure are freehold, where the owner has full rights indefinitely, and leasehold, where ownership is for a fixed term from the freeholder. Other forms include commonhold and various rights to land. Tenure influences property values and responsibilities, like maintenance and payment of ground rent. Understanding land tenure is essential for anyone engaging in property transactions or land use within England.
