Conveyancing Association responds to Government announcement on leasehold

“The CA is, and has been, very supportive of the Law Commission reports published last year on leasehold enfranchisement, commonhold and Right to Manage. However, we have been concerned to see what the plans for the legislative agenda in these areas are, as there have been literally scores of similar announcements made which were designed to introduce fairness into leasehold but so far no legislation has been forthcoming. Without legislation the issues which currently blight leasehold properties and make owners of leasehold property regret they bought them, and the misbehaviour of lease administrators, will continue. The announcements by the Government today are a fabulous first step towards resolving those issues and we look forward to hearing the Ministry’s plans and timetable to introduce the required legislation.”
