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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether he plans to reform the leasehold sector.

Our manifesto made clear that we will crack down on unfair practices in leasehold, and the Housing White Paper highlighted the Government’s aim to improve consumer choice and fairness in the leasehold sector and to tackle unfair and unreasonable abuses of leasehold. We will consult shortly where the most urgent reform may be needed, and it is our intention to look at wider reforms in the medium-term, both of which will be informed by experts with an interest in leasehold reform.
