Written Answers
Leasehold: Ground Rent
Asked by: Mike Penning (Conservative - Hemel Hempstead)
Thursday 23rd May 2024

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the consultation entitled Modern leasehold: restricting ground rent for existing leases, published on 9 November 2023, whether he plans to implement changes arising from that consultation in this Parliament.

Answered by Lee Rowley

The Government recently consulted on a range of options to restrict ground rents for existing leases. We asked questions about the impacts of the options on different stakeholder groups and how a cap would work in practice. This included questions on how freeholders use ground rent currently, and whether there are costs that freeholders meet through ground rent which are more appropriately suited to the service charge.

We are carefully considering the responses we have received and will set out next steps in due course.

Service Charges
Asked by: Mike Penning (Conservative - Hemel Hempstead)
Thursday 23rd May 2024

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps he is taking through the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill to ensure service charges are fully (a) transparent, (b) justified and (c) challengeable.

Answered by Lee Rowley

Service charges should be transparent, reasonable and there should be a clear route to challenge or redress if things go wrong. The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill will help make this reality. Full details of the measures in the Bill can be found here: Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill - Parliamentary Bills.
