Report title
“As a government committed to building a fairer society, Sajid Javid, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
Housing has historically been effected by “unfair practices in the leasehold market”.
To what extent do you consider that legislation can or has offered solutions to these perceived problems? Could the common hold scheme of ownership address any of the Government’s concerns?
In preparing your report you need to:
Identify the problems with the existing leasehold regime for residential leasehold houses.
Analyse the extent to which legislation has or could successfully address these problems and whether non-legislative steps (such as voluntary changes to the working practices of developers and their advisers) might also assist.
