Leasehold Abolition Timeline Remains Unclear, National Leasehold Campaign Warns

The National Leasehold Campaign has warned that millions of leaseholders continue to face uncertainty despite government commitments to end the leasehold system, and despite a recent statement from the Deputy Prime Minister indicating that legislation is on the way.

No Timeline Provided

The campaign's comments follow a statement by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner that legislation would be "coming very soon". No specific timeline has been provided for when the legislation will be introduced, leaving the path and schedule for abolishing leasehold unclear.

What This Means for the Sector

For professionals working across the UK rental and property management sector, the lack of a confirmed timetable adds to the uncertainty surrounding how leasehold reform will be delivered. Until legislation is brought forward with a clear schedule, the position for leaseholders remains unresolved, according to the National Leasehold Campaign.

The Property AI will continue to monitor developments on leasehold reform legislation and will update readers as further details on the government's timeline emerge.
