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

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps he is taking through the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill to ensure service charges are fully (a) transparent, (b) justified and (c) challengeable.

Service charges should be transparent, reasonable and there should be a clear route to challenge or redress if things go wrong. The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill will help make this reality. Full details of the measures in the Bill can be found here: Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill - Parliamentary Bills.
