Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 6 March 2020 to Question 22054, what his timetable is for bringing forward legislative proposals on leasehold and commonhold reform.

The Government is committed to promoting fairness and transparency for homeowners and ensuring that consumers are protected from abuse and poor service. We are taking forward a comprehensive programme of reform to end unfair practices in the leasehold market.

In January this year the Law Commission published the first of four reports, on the valuation aspects of enfranchisement, and on 21 July on the remaining aspects of enfranchisement as well as Commonhold and Right to Manage. We will consider all their recommendations carefully and respond in due course.

Given the impact of Covid-19 on the legislative agenda, we will bring forward leasehold legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows.
