Commonhold: Regulation (3 September 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he has plans to bring forward legislative proposals on the the regulation of commonhold land where there is not an obligation set out in the commonhold community statement.

Asked by:
Matt Western (Labour)

For land to be registered as commonhold, a commonhold community statement has to be in place. As part of its 13th programme of law reform, the Law Commission is taking forward a project to re-invigorate commonhold as a workable alternative to residential leasehold, for both existing and new homes. The Law Commission has published terms of reference for this work, and will be looking at the role, layout and content of the commonhold community statement, and make recommendations. The Government will consider the recommendations when the Law Commission has reported.
