Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what action he is taking to help support leaseholders to contest charges levied by property management companies.

We are committed to better protecting and empowering leaseholders by giving them more information on the things for which their charges pay. We will legislate to ensure service charges are transparent and communicated effectively, removing barriers to challenge when things go wrong. This will help leaseholders more effectively challenge their landlord if they consider their fees are unreasonable. We are due to bring forward further leasehold reforms later in this Parliament.
