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

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to legislate for leasehold reform.

The Government is taking forward a comprehensive programme of reform to end unfair practices in the leasehold market. This includes measures to ban the sale of new leasehold houses, restrict ground rents to zero for future leases, give freehold homeowners equivalent rights to challenge unfair charges and close loopholes to prevent unfair evictions, and improve information for prospective buyers.

We will bring forward legislation as soon as Parliamentary time allows.
