Leasehold reform: Lib Dems urge Govt to go further and abolish “absurd” leasehold system for good

Responding to the Government’s announcement on a £250 ground rent cap, Liberal Democrat Housing Spokesperson Gideon Amos MP said:

“This news will come as a relief for thousands of leaseholders who have had their finances wrecked by spiralling ground rents.

“But the Government cannot call this job done. Liberal Democrats demand an end to the absurd, feudal system of leasehold for good.

“People are being fleeced by a system that restricts their rights in a way that is indefensible in the 21st century.”
