This applies to England and Wales
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) is consulting on a number of Law Commission recommendations that would broaden access to enfranchisement (buying the freehold) and the ‘right to manage’ a building.
DLUHC is also considering recommendations that would allow leaseholders to require that a landlord take on leases for any non-participating units following a collective enfranchisement, the introduction of a non-residential limit for individual freehold acquisitions, and changes to voting rights in right to manage companies.
On commonhold, DLUHC is considering how decision-making could operate under the new Shared Ownership model in England and the provision of information for buying and selling a commonhold property.
We would really appreciate organisations help with sharing the consultation with leaseholders and other relevant stakeholders through your own networks to increase response numbers.
The consultation closes at 11:45pm on 22 February. Please email leasehold.reform@communities.gov.uk if you have any questions.
