Ground Rent Cap Faces Implementation Challenges for Leaseholds

The UK government plans to introduce a cap on ground rents at £250 per year, affecting approximately 3.8 million residential leasehold properties in England and Wales. Implementation of the cap is expected in late 2028, according to the report.

Letting agents and inventory clerks should be aware that this proposed change could impact leasehold management and rental agreements in the coming years. The report highlights that there are challenges associated with implementing the cap, but does not provide further details.
