<p>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 to reform the Right to Manage to help empower those that
wish to, to take on management responsibilities for their properties.</p><p>In January
this year the Law Commission published their first of four reports, on the valuation
aspects of enfranchisement, followed on 21 July by their further three reports on
the remaining aspects of enfranchisement, Commonhold, and Right to Manage. Further
information can be found here: <a href="https://www.lawcom.gov.uk/project/residential-leasehold-and-commonhold/"

<br> <br>We will be publishing further details of how Government will take forward
reform across these key policy issues as soon as possible. This is a long-term reform
programme; it is complex and controversial with many interdependencies and will take
time to get the detail right. Once it is enacted the effect will be felt for generations
and so we are determined this work considers all the implications with care.</p>
