• The fundamentally feudal nature of property law here is malign.

    Property law in England and Wales hasn't been fundamentally feudal since the statute of Quia Emptores in 1290 which ended the practice of subinfeudation and required the alienation of land to take place by substitution instead.

  • Freehold/leasehold is a rotten system directly derived from it.

    Freehold means you own the land. Leasehold means you rent the land. What's 'rotten' about that? I can't think of a single system of property law in a capitalist state which doesn't permit land ownership and the renting of land.
