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

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will introduce legislative proposals to grant freeholders the right to remove property management companies from new developments.

If a freeholder is unhappy with the services provided by a management company they can, with their neighbours, collectively approach the company and ask it to sell the freehold of any communal areas. This is a matter of negotiation between both interested parties. There are currently no plans to allow a right in law for freeholders to enforce a purchase. We will continue to monitor the situation.
