What is a site leasehold?
A site leasehold means you may use a property without owning the land. The owner—usually the municipality—leases the land for an indefinite term.
Your rights
- You may transfer the site leasehold to someone else.
- You may mortgage the site leasehold as collateral for a loan.
- You may use the land much like freehold ownership, within laws and the lease agreement.
Fees and taxes
- Ground rent: An annual fee paid to the landowner.
- Tax deduction: The ground rent is tax-deductible in the same way as interest expenses.
- Property tax/fee: For single-dwelling houses on site leasehold land, the same rules apply as for owned single-dwelling properties.
Buying the freehold – how it works
If you prefer to own the land, you can buy out the site leasehold (freehold acquisition).
Price and conditions
- For single-dwelling plots, the price is 60 percent of the assessed land value.
- The price varies by area.
