Zoopla users can now filter their property search by leasehold and freehold.
In a move welcomed by leasehold campaigners, the portal said a new filter has been released that lets users narrow their property search by leasehold, freehold and share of freehold.
The National Leasehold Campaign (NLC) said it was “better late than never.”
Rightmove and OnTheMarket don’t appear to currently offer this function.
Agents are required to provide tenure information on listings anyway but having this filter would help buyers avoid leasehold properties if they want to.
It comes amid government commitments to further reform leasehold, including regulating ground rents.

We have a lot of cases where the properties are freehold on completion of a sale and select freehold for the search fields not to put those properties in the same 'leasehold' black hole.
