Understanding Ownership Structures
Freehold vs. Leasehold
A major difference in Mohali is the distinction between ownership and leasehold. Freehold gives the owner full and perpetual property rights.
A long-term lease means that you have the right to occupy the property for a set period of time, but the land remains the property of the government or a designated authority.
The issue of converting a long-term leasehold into ownership is a recurring problem in Mohali.
When considering purchasing such a property, many buyers choose to finance it with a home loan, which allows them to borrow a certain percentage of the property’s value from a bank or financial institution. A home loan typically covers between 75%-90% of the property’s value, depending on the lender’s terms.
