As an example of the problem, no one in my entire social circle has any hope of ever owning property, and many of us are just barely skirting homelessness. Unfortunately this is extremely common in the same world where some people own multiple homes. If you found yourself in that situation, I imagine the best course of action depends on where you live, but a good choice might be to convert your property into a non-equity low-income housing cooperative. There are lots of other options though, the main thing is just to get it into the hands of people who need it.

The only hope I ever have of owning property is my mum dying :(

And even then, she currently owns the property, not the land, so there's still land rent

Property is land. Do you mean that she owns the building?

Leasehold is a type of property where you rent the land for a really long time (decades), and build your house on it. Every few years you extend the lease so it has no risk of running out. You don't know how much the landlord will charge you, or indeed if they extend, although there are some legal protections for leaseholders.
