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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what recent estimate he has made of the number of leaseholders in (a) Witham constituency, (b) Essex and (c) England.

The department publishes an annual estimate of Leasehold dwellings in England. The most recent data (2021-22) shows there were an estimated 4.98 million leasehold dwellings in England. In the South East, there were an estimated 696,000 leasehold dwellings. Due to methodological limitations, the statistics cannot show robust estimates at a sub-regional level. The data are published on gov.uk here: Leasehold dwellings.
