@katesineed @ZahrahAullyboc2 @craigco93949459 @EndLeasehold @CommonholdNow Indeed consent from the Freeholder is required in order to assign (the technical legal term used “to sell”) your lease but consent cannot be ‘unreasonably’ withheld.. it works this way because you don’t actually OWN the property
@craigco93949459 @Helen_NW1 @EndLeasehold @CommonholdNow A lease is like a long term rental agreement save that you pay a heck of a lot more for having a property that’s yours “for a limited time only”.
@EndLeasehold When will everyone in 🏴🏴 finally grasp the fact that leasehold is a tenancy agreement it’s NOT ownership (= Freehold = Commonhold equivalent) as the rest of the modern world understands it) ??? @CommonholdNow
Ending service charge abuse ultimately requires bringing the archaic and iniquitous leasehold system to an end. With the Tories having failed to do so, ministers must at least act now to protect leaseholders and shared owners from the excessive demands so many are being served.
This is the debate in the House of Lords on the extension of the ban on leasehold to include flats and introducing Commomhold. Very poor response from the Government which delivers nothing. ☹️ members.parliament.uk/member/4153/co…
Another very disappointing response from the Government last night with NO commitment to bring back an amendment at Report Stage to deal with the issue for Forfeiture. members.parliament.uk/member/4153/co…
@OppressedGame @Helen_NW1 @Glostermeteor @duncanrobinson @young_financier Eng / Wales market many 100,000s of freeholds owned by offshore companies or remote entities just in game for ground rent income, permission fees, associated commissions, lease extensions fees etc. Context-Commonhold means flat owners own their flat and a share in the building.
Commonhold = Freehold .. both come with covenants, easements, charges, taxes etc most importantly neither = leasehold = tenancy agreement @CommonholdNow

@TenureFreedom @suejbright @martinboydlkp @luhc @CommonholdNow It’s complex but CRA snd UCTA aren’t helpful for contracts involving an “interest in land” I took advice on this a while ago see 289 (hopefully a legal expert can contradict this) legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/15/…
Just a thought … but … do we really want people’s pensions to be reliant on the volatile and exploitative business of rent extraction? Would that money be better invested elsewhere? Just a thought. Just thinking.

*20 year transition still being debated this weekend in government, could slip a bit The £250 cap and 20 year transition were both in a write-round that Number 10 dictated earlier this month and the PM's support for these measures were conveyed to relevant departments 2/4
I will always back the dream of home ownership. My mission-driven government will get tough on the blockers to deliver the homes and local services that hardworking Brits deserve. thetimes.co.uk/article/0fb2b9…
@PoliticsJOE_UK @BarryGardiner @Keir_Starmer Barry I suggest you have a word with Flipflop as he hasn't mentioned it in any of his missions, I'm an extorted LEASEHOLDER & I believe the only thing he will change in power is his MIND as it stands @UKLabour won't be getting mine& up to 10mil votes
"This government has failed on housing so comprehensively that it's difficult to know where to start." Labour's Barry Gardiner slams Tories' Michael Gove for backing investors and failing homeowners on leasehold.
2/ £250pa max with further dilution of GR is good. But bigging up peppercorn GR means it's a step backwards. Mr Gove is likely to be the last to tinker with leasehold, not the person who buried it.
1/ Over-promising by @michaelgove on ground renters wasted time that could have been better spent introducing mandatory commonhold on new builds ft.com/content/768a16…
@DJ3370178658 @richard_jm Commercial freeholders profit for themselves; leaseholders supply its profits NOT as consumers, customers or beneficiaries but captive contractual debtors without standard financial protections @CommonholdNow commonholdnow.uk
Excellent @mtpennycook I’m writing to my MP Keir Starmer to ask him (as leader of the opposition) to publicly announce that he fully supports that (and you!) @CommonholdNow commonholdnow.uk

@SimonPalme89391 We pressed the government in committee to strengthen the provisions in the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill relating to service charges and we've been urging them literally for years to take decisive action on soaring buildings insurance premiums.
