Leasehold: Older People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to financially protect leaseholding pensioners in independent retirement living facilities from (a) maintenance and (b) ground rents.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The Government will act quickly to provide leasehold homeowners, including where relevant those living in retirement housing, with greater rights, powers and protections over their homes by implementing the provisions of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024. We will also take action to tackle unregulated and unaffordable ground rent charges.
