Property Management Companies: Leasehold

Asked by Afzal KhanLabourMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 17 April 2026UIN 123702

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he is having discussions with property management companies on effective communications with leaseholders.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

Neither the Secretary of State nor I have regular discussions with individual property management companies regarding effective communications with leaseholders.

I have had no further direct discussions with FirstPort subsequent to my meeting with Martin King on 17 November 2025 and the exchange of letters that followed it as referenced in my answer to Question UIN 94116 on 1 December 2025.

My Department continues to actively monitor standards and quality of service among property management companies, including FirstPort.

I otherwise refer the hon. Members to the answer given to Question UIN 85213 on 4 November 2025.
