To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have plans to review legislation in relation to leasehold enfranchisement where the freeholder is a charity and the landlord is a housing association.
Answered on
23 October 2017
The Government’s consultation, 'Tackling unfair practices in the leasehold market', considered a number of issues within the leasehold sector including the sale of new built leasehold houses, and onerous ground rents. The consultation also sought views on what further areas of leasehold reform should be prioritised and why.
The public consultation, which closed on 19 September, received around 6,000 replies. We are carefully analysing the responses, and will issue the Government response shortly.
