tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL2196
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2024 answer text <p>The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill will make it easier and cheaper for leaseholders to extend their lease or buy the freehold. The Bill includes a statutory right for qualifying leaseholders to obtain a 990-year lease extension, or to buy their freehold, on payment of a premium. In doing so they can obtain a peppercorn ground rent. In calculating the premium, the value of ground rent is capped at 0.1% of the freehold value.</p><p>In addition we have consulted on options to restrict ground rents for current leases and will respond to that consultation in due course. This Government has already restricted ground rents for new residential leases to a peppercorn.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 20/02/2024 12:42:29 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook
