Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what recent assessment he has made of trends in the number of developers selling on the leasehold of new-build homes to other companies; and if he will make a statement.

We do not collect data on the number of developers selling the freehold of a new build home to a third party. Our manifesto made clear that we will crack down on unfair practices in leasehold, and the Housing White Paper states we will promote fairness and transparency for leaseholders.
