Leasehold Service


As a leaseholder, you own the right to live in your property for a specific period of time, normally 125 years.  After this period of time the lease will revert back to the freeholder, Newcastle City Council.

In certain circumstances you may have the right to buy the freehold of your property.  To find out more please contact Property Services on 0191 232 8520.

YHN's Leasehold service can give you more information about:

  • your leasehold conditions 
  • your responsibilities and rights as a leaseholder
  • our responsibilities and rights as your landlord.
