In early law, property was deemed "real" if the courts would restore to a dispossessed owner the thing itself[,] and not merely give compensation for the loss ... Consequently, a distinction was made between real property (or "realty"), which could be specifically recovered, and personal property (or "personalty"), which was not thus recoverable. In general, all interests in land are real property, with the exception of leaseholds[,] which are classified as personalty. 5, record 1, English, - real%20property

Real estate is a technical term and is generally to be construed in its technical sense. It comprises all freehold (and formerly copyhold) lands, tenements and hereditaments, but not leasehold interests.... "Real estate" includes, also, any rights in land, such as a rentcharge, which admit of being limited in the same manner as freehold estates or interests. (39 Hals., 4th, p. 214) 1, record 2, English, - real%20property

As the common law developed, real property came to mean that form of property which could be specifically recovered by a real action if possession were lost. Only freeholdings of land were thus recoverable in the realty. (Crossley Vaines, 5th, p. 6) 1, record 2, English, - real%20property

The terms "real property," "realty" and "real estate" are quasi-synonyms. "Real property" and "real estate" serve for distinct technical classifications. Originally, the use of the term "property" itself was confined to cases where the right included possession. The term "real property," as opposed to "personal property," was used to denote land and things attached to land so as to become part of it, as well as rights in the land which endure for a life. The term "real estate," as opposed to "personal estate," comprised all freehold (and formerly copyhold) lands, tenements and hereditaments (except leasehold interests) that a person owned, and also included any rights in land which could be limited in the same manner as freehold estates or interests. In modern usage, all three terms refer to the same object, comprising corporeal and incorporeal hereditaments. 2, record 2, English, - real%20property
