How does the leasehold system in the ACT affect property sales?
Last updated: June 22, 2025
In the ACT, most property is held under a 99-year Crown lease, not freehold title. This means buyers are purchasing the rights to the land for that period. Agents must understand how this affects contracts, land use (purpose clauses), and valuations.
