It's also in the USA, but far more commonly found in commercial real estate applications. Instead of a 99 year lease (as used to be done on properties--Like the base at Guantamano Bay) , you will frequently see 20 year retail leases. "Buisness site, will build to suit ". Or "pad for lease". Very different from residential real estate.
Since when do 'leases' have mortgages for the lessee?
About 800 years , if I recall my English history correctly. And don't forget that American real estate law is based upon colonial real estate law, which was ...surprise! English real estate law. And there are all kinds of other weird real estate entaglements like lif estates (where you live on the property fot the rest of your life , but can't sell it, etc.....all kinds of weird stuff still on the books, but rarely used. ). Thank God. Usually only reseserected for Real estate Broker licence exams and by real estate lawyers with a strange thing for....well strange things, [:D]
Wow...[:'(]
