Buildings: Co-ownership
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if her Department will publish the findings of the call for evidence entitled Jointly owned properties which closed on 7 April 2024.
Answered by Alex Norris
A call for evidence on jointly owned residential leasehold properties was undertaken by the previous administration and we do not intend to publish it. However, the government is reviewing how to better protect leaseholders from costs relating to building safety.
All leaseholders, including those who hold leases which do not qualify for the leaseholder protections, (whether as joint or sole owners) benefit from qualifying lease status for their principal (main) residence.
