That is why we have established a working group chaired by Lord Best to raise standards across the property sector and consider how fees such as service charges should be presented to consumers and to explore the best means to challenge fees which are unjustified. The group is instructed to report back to Government in July 2019.</p><p>The Government will legislate to ensure that freeholders who pay charges for the maintenance of communal areas and facilities on a private or mixed use estate, can access equivalent rights as leaseholders to challenge the reasonableness of service charges.</p><p>The Government intends to bring forward the legislation to make these changes as soon as parliamentary time allows.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 11/06/2019 16:54:36 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
