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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will introduce regulations on the level of maintenance fees borne by leaseholders.

In 2014 the Government took action to cap repair charges imposed on leaseholders by public sector landlords for government-funded maintenance. In addition, since 2014 all property managing agents in England must belong to one of three approved redress schemes, allowing consumers to follow up complaints and drive up standards with the least regulatory burden. The Government has no plans to regulate leaseholders’ maintenance fees.
