I welcome this statement and congratulate the Minister. Does he agree that strengthening and simplifying the route to commonhold will shift power away from distant freeholders and back to residents, and that for leaseholders in Birmingham Edgbaston, this will mean control over service charges, repairs and management for the first time?

Absolutely. Commonhold is a purpose-built tenure designed specifically for people to own and manage a shared building without a third-party landlord and without a ground rent. We want to see its uptake grow significantly over this Parliament, and that is what the measures in this draft Bill are designed to provide for.
