It's a way through the problem that a freehold is a piece of ground and the flat is part of a building on that piece of ground.
If they just jointly owned the freehold that would probably make it difficult or impossible to define the actual flat (part of the building) she owns. So the occupiers are joint freeholders and also lessors, and individually lessees of a particular flat. Both freeholders/lessors and lessees have obligations. The lease should also define the tenants rights and obligations in relation to common areas, access to their own flats, and so on.
