answer text <p>The Government is taking forward a comprehensive programme of reform to end unfair practices in the leasehold market. We are working with the Law Commission to make buying a freehold or extending a lease easier, quicker and cheaper – and to reinvigorate Commonhold to provide consumers with a choice of tenure and the Right to Manage to help empower those that wish to, to take on management responsibilities for their properties</p><p><br> In January this year the Law Commission published the first of four reports, on the valuation aspects of enfranchisement, and on 21 July a further three reports on the remaining aspects of enfranchisement as well as Commonhold and Right to Manage. We will consider all their recommendations carefully and respond in due course. <br> <br> Details can be found here: <a href="https://www.lawcom.gov.uk/project/residential-leasehold-and-commonhold/" target="_blank">https://www.lawcom.gov.uk/project/residential-leasehold-and-commonhold/</a> .</p> more like this
