Report Highlights Ongoing Issues with Leasehold Reform Delays

A new report has revealed that, despite some legislative progress, leaseholders in the UK continue to face rising costs, complex rules, and an uncertain market. The findings are based on insights and evidence from Propertymark members and current leaseholders.

The report outlines that many leaseholders remain trapped by these ongoing challenges. It emphasises the need for policymakers to introduce further reforms, not only to support the transition to commonhold but also to address the needs of existing leaseholders who cannot wait for widespread adoption of commonhold.

For letting agents and inventory clerks, these ongoing issues may impact clients and property management processes, particularly where leasehold arrangements are involved. The report underscores the importance of continued attention to leasehold reform within the UK property sector.
