freehold or leasehold

I was told that company accommodation won't be available for a while. And rent is still soaring. So we could think of buying a property in some areas including the pearl, west bay lagoon, Al Dafna, Salata, etc. opened to expatriates. A newspaper said that many expats prefer to put their housing allowances towards a mortgage rather to spend it on renting residence. It seems like a good idea to build assets in this circumstance. If this isn't a bad idea, which is more recommended between freehold and leasehold? Anybody bought a house in Doha would shed light on the new challenge in the new hometown? Thanks in advance.
