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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what plans he has to regulate management companies to ensure that fees charged to residents reflect the true costs of maintenance of their properties and linked open space.

The Government’s call for evidence, 'Protecting consumers in the letting and managing agent market', sought views on a number of issues around property agents, their fees and how they can be better challenged by residents. The call for evidence closed on 29 November and the Government will respond in due course.
