I was watching Homes Under the Hammer earlier and there was a chap on there who bought a flat and there was much talk about having to contact the freeholder to be able to knock down walls etc.
I've only ever owned houses - what is a freeholder? Am I right in thinking that they own the actual building? If so how does that happen and why would they do that? Why would you own the expensive to maintain bits of a building without actually being able to live in it or sell it.
