Conclusion
Three successive UK governments have now secured electoral mandates to address onerous ground rent terms in existing leases. Leaseholders rightly expect the government to deliver on its commitment to “tackle unregulated and unaffordable ground rent charges” through legislation. Therefore, we welcome that Part 3 of the draft bill would introduce a universal cap on ground rents to provide immediate relief to leaseholders facing the most egregious ground rent charges. (Conclusion, Paragraph 31)
