The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will bring forward legislative proposals to (a) define the minimum quality of service provided by estates management companies and (b) control the level of charges they can impose on residents.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The Government is committed to bringing the injustice of ‘fleecehold’ private estates and unfair costs to an end. We will consult on the best way to achieve this and implement new protections for homeowners on private estates in the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024.
