Written Question
Leasehold: Unfair Practices
Monday 30th April 2018

Asked by: William Wragg (Independent - Hazel Grove)

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

What steps his Department is taking to tackle unfair practices in the leasehold system.

Answered by Heather Wheeler

We are committed to tackling unfair leasehold practices, which is why we are working with the Law Commission to make buying your freehold or extending your lease easier, faster, fairer and cheaper.

We want to ensure leaseholders have the right support to deal with onerous ground rent and will consider further action if developer’s schemes to compensate individuals don’t go far enough.
