The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what data does his Department hold on the number of leasehold properties in London.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

My Department publishes a release entitled ‘Leasehold Dwellings’ which includes statistics on the number of leasehold dwellings in England by tenure, dwelling type, and region.

Statistics from 2024-25 can be found on gov.uk here. Section 4 shows that in 2024–25 there were 1.44 million leasehold dwellings in London.
