Homeownership should provide people with far greater control over their homes and their lives. In the next Parliamentary Session we will legislate to reform the leasehold system, including by supercharging leaseholders’ ability to buy their freeholds and take control of their homes. For new builds, we will ban use of leasehold for houses. For flats we want to see widespread take up of commonhold so people can fully enjoy the benefits of true homeownership from the outset.
