Permanent and absolute tenure of property etc. (8)

I believe the answer is:

freehold

(Other definitions for freehold that I've seen before include "property one can dispose of at will" , "Unencumbered property, without a lease" , "Way of owning property" , "Type of tenure" , "Permanent and absolute tenure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
