Conclusion
Clause 109—which provides for a ban on new leasehold flats—is among the most important provisions in the draft bill to advance commonhold as the default tenure, as many development stakeholders lack incentives to transition away from leasehold voluntarily. Overall, we heard that developers, housing associations, and mortgage lenders are supportive of the move to commonhold in principle, but will require close consultation in 109 advance of and during its implementation, to understand further detail of what commonhold will mean for their systems and operations in practice. (Conclusion, Paragraph 205)
