We have clarified that we have no intention of excluding leaseholders who have moved out and sublet from the protections that will be in place (including those in shared ownership) for buildings below 18 metres in England. We will explore whether this support should extend to leaseholders who are buy-to-let landlords.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 25/02/2022 14:19:18 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2022 answer text <p>I urgently want to relieve the financial pressures facing leaseholders due to unfair and unwarranted insurance premiums. <br> I have called on the FCA and the CMA to conduct a review of the buildings insurance market to get to the bottom of concerning year-on-year price increases, and the restricted cover on offer to leaseholders. The FCA is currently collecting data on market conditions to inform their review. By better understanding the root and scale of this issue in a thorough review, the Government can seek ways to ensure leaseholders get the value for money they deserve. The review is part of a wider raft of measures to protect innocent leaseholders from the impact of building safety issues.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 19/04/2022 16:51:40 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
