Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when the Government plans to respond to the Law Commission report on leasehold reform, published in July 2020.
The Government asked the Law Commission to make recommendations on a range of leasehold reforms, including reviewing current enfranchisement arrangements to make them easier, faster, fairer and cheaper, as well as reinvigorate commonhold and make it easier for homeowners to take control of the management of their block of flats or an estate. The Law Commission reports on the enfranchisement process, commonhold and Right to Manage were published in July, following their January report on valuation. We are considering these in detail and will set out our preferred way forward in due course.
