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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, when he plans to introduce Phase 2 of legislation to ensure leaseholders can purchase the leasehold for their properties.

The Government is committed to creating a fair and just housing system that works for everyone. This includes our comprehensive programme of reform to improve fairness and transparency in the leasehold market. In the next session of this Parliament we will bring forward reforms to supercharge leaseholders' ability to buy their freehold, helping millions of households genuinely to own their own home with the most significant discounts for those trapped with egregious, escalating ground rents.
