  • I'm about to make an offer on a house in Hawkhurst but I'm concerned about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease?

I have read this is legal but will it be very time costly to the seller? To add to the complexity the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.
