Government outlines plans to end feudal’ leaseholds
The Independent
|March 03, 2025
New leasehold flats are set to be banned under government plans to make commonhold the default tenure, with homeowners expected to have greater control over their properties.
Housing minister Matthew Pennycook said the reforms “mark the beginning of the end” for the “feudal” leasehold system, which subjects homeowners to “unfair practices and unreasonable costs”.
Under the current system, third-party landlords can own a building’s lease and therefore make decisions on behalf of homeowners.
The government has proposed to bring the leaseholds system to an end, in line with its manifesto commitment, and give homeowners more control over how their buildings are run.
