16.1.4 Interests in land: freehold, leasehold, life interest, licence and easements

A valuer values an interest, not just land: freehold (absolute, perpetual ownership), leasehold (right to enjoy for a term under TPA s.105), reversion, life interest, a licence (bare permission, no interest — Easements Act s.52) and easements (rights over another's land — s.4) each have their own value.
