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

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce new legislation to grant homeowners greater controls over the fees they pay to estate management companies.

As set out in the King’s Speech on 7 November, the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill will grant freehold homeowners on private and mixed tenure estates the same rights of redress as leaseholders – by extending equivalent rights to transparency over their estate charges, access to support via redress schemes, and to challenge the charges they pay by taking a case to a Tribunal, just like existing leaseholders. We will introduce the Bill as soon as Parliamentary time allows.
