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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what comparative assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of the proposed reforms to leasehold on (a) the relative value of existing flats and (b) new flats with no ground rent.

The government is committed to addressing unregulated and unaffordable ground rents and we will do this in legislation. We will set out further details in due course.
