Asked by Jess Brown-FullerLiberal DemocratMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 5 June 2026UIN 3509

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of i) service charges, ii) daily standard charges for electricity, and iii) ground rent on retirement home sales in Chichester constituency.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

My Department does not hold data on average service charges in Chichester.

I otherwise refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 27 January 2026 (HCWS1278) and to the draft Impact Assessment for the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill which can be found on gov.uk here.
