<p>We are moving towards legislation on leasehold reform, reaffirming our commitment
to making the system fairer for leaseholders. This will include measures to ban the
sale of new leasehold houses, restrict ground rents to a peppercorn for future leases,
give freehold home owners equivalent rights to challenge unfair charges, and close
loopholes to prevent unfair evictions</p><p><br> The Government supports the increased
use of commonhold. Reform to commonhold legislation is needed to support greater take
up of the tenure. That is why the Government is working closely with the Law Commission
as part of their 13th Programme of Law reform to reinvigorate commonhold and provide
greater choice for consumers. The Law Commission undertook a consultation earlier
this year and are now analysing responses. They will report back to Government later
in the year.</p>
