MPs Call for £250 Ground Rent Cap

A group of MPs are urging the Government to introduce a cap on the ground rent that leaseholders pay to freeholders. The proposed cap would limit ground rents to £250 and MPs want this measure to be implemented by the end of next year.

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