My message to leaseholders 👇

Tory minister in the Lords confirms that the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill won't come into effect until 2025/26. That is painfully slow and suggests that despite taking years to introduce this unambitious legislation the groundwork has not been done. hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/2024-04-…

Leaseholders are being let down by Labour, who failed to fulfil their promise of a pilot in London, and the Conservatives. I'm proud to support leasehold reform. standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

As a new bill to ban the sale of leasehold houses faces Conservative opposition in the Commons, Sky spoke to leaseholders who feel trapped by the "vicious cycle" of charges they pay for properties "falling into disrepair" ⬇️ Read more 🔗 trib.al/HPJluBj

This is the point I have been emphatically making, now reinforced by the current Housing Minister. Claims about damage to UK investment or pension fund operations are false and unfounded by any evidence

The most consequential property reform for decades is law The Leasehold Bill empowers people with more control & freedom. Those on freehold estates gain transparency & redress Conservatism is best when smashing monopolies & making markets better. Today, we've made huge progress

Ending service charge abuse ultimately requires bringing the feudal leasehold system to an end. The Tories have failed to honour the promises they made to millions of leaseholders. A Labour government will deliver where they have failed. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The Tories promised to end leaseholds in 2019 but failed to do so. Since then, I have consistently called for the abolition of this exploitative system. A Labour government will: ✅ End the unjust leasehold system. 🚫 Ban no fault evictions. 🏡 Build 1.5 million homes.

I rejoined the The Labour Party Party, believing your promises. I voted for your party Matthew Pennycook MP This does not look good. When are you going to act for the people who voted for you who are trapped in leasehold? Do not back track as every other gov have. order-order.com/2024/10/25/hou…

The minister was clear on my show this morning that leasehold will be gone by the end of this parliament. Let’s see.
