## What it is

English Leasehold is a concept in the Global Property Systems family, defined here by the function it performs in the property system rather than by label alone.

## What it actually does

English Leasehold demonstrates that ownership and mortgage conventions vary by jurisdiction and history.

## Why it exists

It exists because place is unique and immovable while law, capital, information, and human lives must still coordinate around it across time.
