answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2022 answer text <p>The Government supports a well-functioning housing market where there are clear rules in place to ensure transactions can be carried out fairly. The Levelling Up White Paper sets out plans to work with the industry to improve the home buying and selling process. Where the freehold of a building is owned by joint tenants or tenants-in-common, a legally binding Declaration of Trust can set out the co-owners' rights and obligations toward each other. Depending on the circumstances of a case, there is a current legal route which would allow an application to the County Court for an order requiring a co-owner to sign any relevant documentation.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 30/05/2022 15:55:05 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022, from what date leaseholders will be allowed to extend their lease or buy their freehold.
tabling member constituency	Hornsey and Wood Green
tabling member printed	Catherine West
uin	1261
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2022 answer text <p>Under the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 (as amended) and the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, leaseholders have statutory rights to extend their lease and/or buy their freehold. The Government remains committed to transforming the experience of leaseholders by making it easier and cheaper for them to extend their lease and/or buy their freehold.</p><p>We announced last year that the length of a statutory lease extension will increase to 990 years, from 90 years (for flats) and 50 years (for houses). Leaseholders will be able to extend their lease with zero ground rent on payment of a premium. We will also reform the process of valuation that leaseholders must follow to calculate the cost of extending their lease and/or buying their freehold. Our reforms will result in substantial savings for some leaseholders, particularly those with fewer than 80 years left on their lease.</p><p>The Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022, which comes into force on 30 June 2022, will make homeownership fairer and more transparent for thousands of future leaseholders, by preventing landlords under new residential long leases from requiring a leaseholder to pay a financial ground rent. This is the first part of major two-part legislation to implement leasehold and commonhold reforms in this Parliament.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 19/05/2022 16:30:47 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes
