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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he plans to create a statutory right to manage for freehold estates.

The Government wants to make estate management companies more accountable to homeowners for how their money is spent.

The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill will make sure that homeowners who pay estate management charges have the right to challenge their reasonableness and to go to the tribunal to appoint a substitute manager to manage the provision of services.

In addition, we will make sure that homeowners have better access to information they need to understand what they are paying for and how the communal areas are being managed.
