The only hope I ever have of owning property is my mum dying :(
And even then, she currently owns the property, not the land, so there's still land rent
Property is land. Do you mean that she owns the building?
Leasehold is a type of property where you rent the land for a really long time (decades), and build your house on it. Every few years you extend the lease so it has no risk of running out. You don't know how much the landlord will charge you, or indeed if they extend, although there are some legal protections for leaseholders.
