I AM NOT A LAWYER but my understanding is:

Freehold is YOU own the land the flat is sat on, taking into account it may
be sat on top of another flat etc.....

Leasehold is where somebody else owns the LAND and YOU pay a ground rent
usually annually

& how can he find out.

Ask his solicitor or look at his paperwork from his original purchase, does
he have an 'annual' bill to a Landlord

He lives in Scotland if it's relevant..

Maybe Maybe not who knows??

It is.

The terms freehold and leasehold are English, and do not appy.

His selling lawyer will be able to advise further.

That was kicked into touch some years ago.

Including the principle of not actually owning the land the house is built
on?
