We’re committed to protecting leaseholders. That is why we are tackling unregulated and unaffordable ground rents through our Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill.

Deliver it now! The average life expectancy is 80, we can’t keep millions of people trapped in a state of stress and anxiety for a significant proportion of this. Leaseholders need action now to turn their hellholes into the homes they worked so hard to buy @mtpennycook

No one trusts Leasehold anymore. With five million people in homes that cannot be sold at a realistic market value the market is stagnating. Building more substandard houses is not the answer. Free the 5 million and we will once again have a functional market.

So when will I be able to buy my freehold at a reasonable price?

Tempest1 🇬🇧1 year ago

Any chance you could get on with it? I’m being fleeced for £700 a year more than non-fleecehold roads nearby, who only pay council tax. I pay full council tax TOO. Apparently council tax doesn’t cover ‘estate management’, in which case how do non-fleeceholders do it? Magic? 🤷‍♂️

Living the UK Building Safety Scandal.1 year ago

When do prosecutions start and jail sentences start for builders known to you, @mhclg to have built in breach of safety regs?? Evidence sat in your Ministry’s BSF files. What action are you going to take against them?Or is UK a truly corrupt country?Ball in @UKLabour court.

No one is buying Leasehold anymore. Its a scam that has allowed freeholders and managing agents to abuse the system. What is more interesting though is that no one is giving a timeline on when things are changing. @UKLabour

Seriously? It’s service charges that need regulating. They can be increased at any time to any amount, unless an appeal at tribunal wins. Most ground rents don’t increase, & even escalating GRs are fixed by lease terms. These bland statements are the opposite of reassuring!

Susan Thorn1 year ago

Homeowners are being fleeced on unadopted estates, leaseholders and people suffering home safety issues are suffering the loss of their homes. Labour must deal with ALL home ownership problems as a matter of urgency.

They promised abolishing leasehold before the election Never believe labour again.

At today’s Liaison Committee, Keir Starmer couldn’t guarantee the Draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill by Christmas, despite promises from Steve Reed and Matthew Pennycook MP. Are freeholders winning? Or is No10 accepting ground rents must fall to a peppercorn to end leasehold?

The Tories are rowing back on leasehold reform. Labour are committed to fundamental and comprehensive reform of the leasehold system. We will continue to press the government to honour their commitments to leaseholders in full.

Wow. Leasehold is THE subscription scam. On his first day taking questions in Parliament as PM, Andy Burnham promises Barry Gardiner MP, the stalwart of leaseholders, a Commonhold and Leasehold Bill this session. It’s core to Burnham’s attack on the cost-of-living crisis.

Labour promised to END leasehold. Now it’s a Two-Tier Keir fix, future developments only. A parliamentary committee is calling for an overhaul of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill. The government must revive the promised Law Commission enfranchisement and RTM reforms.

Number 10 is stalling publication of the Draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill, promised before Christmas, just to appease Big Freehold and their lobbyists. Don’t fall for the lies about pensions and global investors. On Times Radio, we call out the disinformation campaign.

Painful from Keir Starmer at PMQs. Ruth Cadbury asks when the Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill will arrive … and he dodges with rental reform! Notice how the PM cannot bring himself to say his government will end leasehold, even though the The Labour Party manifesto promises it.

Take liberation off your Christmas lists! On Thursday, Number 10 sided with grifters, blocking the draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill. The Labour Party cosying up to lobbyists and prolonging corrupt leasehold alienates flat-dwelling core voters ahead of the local elections.

BURNHAM TO END LEASEHOLD SCAM? STATEMENT FROM FREE LEASEHOLDERS 30/9/26 Andy Burnham is the first Prime Minister to use a party conference speech to address 10 million leaseholders and pledge law reform. It is hugely significant that he wants to use his political capital, at the height of his power, on this pro-people, pro-growth, anti-rentier agenda. Burnham promises devolution, but ‘taking back control’ cannot mean hiding behind another Whitehall regulator, one we know will be captured by industry and paid for through higher service charges on leaseholders. We, the people, need control of our homes, money and lives. That is the only way to bring service charges back down to earth, force managing agents to improve performance and save the flats market. We won’t accept crumbs from the table. Labour has the second biggest parliamentary majority in its 126-year history and was elected to power to END leasehold, not reform it. At a minimum, the upcoming Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill must include a universal Right to Manage and a restriction on development value, so our supporters can finally have freedom from interference and exploitation by parasitic freeholders and their managing agents. Burnham is right. This country has for too long been run for vested interests. Not in the public interest. With power held in too few hands. That is why our campaign exists. What comes forward in the leasehold legislation our PM has promised before Christmas will test whether his government really means what it says about taking back control and giving it to the people.
