Note that in Scotland, we don't really have the freehold/leasehold distinction in the vast, vast majority of cases - instead all flat owners are responsible for the upkeep of the building and there is no separate freehold, through a default set of rules defined by statute which may be overridden by the title deeds for each flat. This is different from the rest of the UK, where the freehold is a separate legal entity that is responsible for the upkeep of most structural elements of the building - although each flat owner may own a share of the freehold in many cases.
