Banning leasehold for new flats
The Government is seeking comments until 24th April 2026 on plans to introduce a ban on new leasehold flats.
Views are wanted on:-
- The scope of the ban
- The case for exemptions from the ban
- How a ban on new leasehold flats should operate as part of our approach to moving to the reformed commonhold model
- When a ban on leasehold for new flats should start and what transitional arrangements might be needed
- The costs and benefits in moving to commonhold and complying with the ban
