Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when his Department plans to implement the recommendations made by the Law Commission in March 2017 on transparency of fees and charges in retirement properties.
The Government responded to the Law Commission in March 2019, thanking them for the report and agreeing to implement the majority of the recommendations. The Government is further considering two of the recommendations, on succession rights and a database of leasehold retirement properties with event fees.
Given the impact of Covid-19 on the legislative agenda, and the Government’s wider priorities to restart the economy, we will bring forward legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows.
