Leasehold to Freehold Under L&DO With Employee
The Land and Development Office (L&DO) is an authority in Delhi that is responsible for land development and administration.

Leasehold VS Freehold Property

The difference between a leasehold property and a freehold property is stated below:

  1. Duration: Leasehold properties under L&DO have a set lease duration, often 99 years, after which the ownership reverts to the authority unless renewed. Freehold properties offer indefinite ownership, allowing the owner to retain the property until it's voluntarily transferred.
  2. Ownership: Leasehold properties grant ownership of the building but not the land, which remains under the authority. Freehold properties provide complete ownership of both land and buildings.
  3. Modification: Leasehold properties might require permission from the L&DO for significant modifications or changes. Freehold properties grant the owner the freedom to make alterations without needing permission.
  4. Loan Access: Acquiring a loan against a leasehold property under the L&DO might be more challenging due to the limited ownership. Freehold properties often have easier access to loans or mortgages due to the clear and absolute ownership of both land and property.
