The distinction which is more significant than the distinction between freehold and leasehold ownership is the distinction between the long and the short lease. For most purposes a 999-year lease may be indistinguishable from freehold ownership; a weekly tenancy is much less valuable and its value will depend on the degree of security available. In the case of a 999-year lease the whole of the capital value more or less has been transferred to the tenant. In the case of a weekly tenancy-apart from his security-the tenant is receiving nothing but the present use of the property and the capital value remains in the landlord.(Harwood, 1975, p. 499).  1, record 4, English, - short%20lease

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....

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.
