Cross lease is a common titles you'll come across in Cambridge - here's what that actually means.
In simple terms, you own a share of the land with the other owners, plus a long-term lease (usually 999 years) over your home. Your memorandum of lease sets out what you can and can't do, so changes like a new deck or garage need the other owners' sign-off first.
