Leaseholders Urge Immediate £250 Ground Rent Cap

A leasehold group is calling on Prime Minister Andy Burnham to bring forward the introduction of a £250 ground rent cap. The National Leasehold Campaign (NLC) argues that implementing the cap now would provide immediate savings for leaseholders facing ground rent costs.

According to the report, the government has stated its intention to cap ground rent. The NLC is urging that this measure be enacted without delay to help households manage the cost of living.

This development is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks, as changes to ground rent regulations could impact leasehold property management and tenant costs.
