Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many and what proportion of new homes sold between 17 December 2019 and the introduction of the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022 on 30 June 2022 were leasehold properties.
This question was answered on 16th January 2023
Land Registry data reports that between January 2020 to June 2022, there were 66,197 new homes built that were sold as leasehold (33.7% of all new homes sold). However, Land Registry data has a reporting lag such that data on sales within the past 12 to 18 months is subject to upward revision.
