"Calls are mounting to pass the secondary legislation needed to enforce the #Freehold Reform Act 2024, which would ban developers from selling new houses as leaseholds, make it cheaper to extend a lease and increase the standard lease length to 990 years.

Formerly, when housing stock was in the control of the local authority, you could make FoI requests for important documents regarding your home. However, that right didn't follow when our homes were transferred to RSLs. Please consider signing and sharing this petition to restore that right. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/661507

The UK leasehold system sounds like they tried to copy Home Owners Associations and make them worse... Of course as this article points out it pre-dates America by a long stretch.

But I wonder how many of the freehold buildings that will replace leasehold will have as many issues as American HOAs?

Hi Mastodon once more!

So, I've been raising our #toddler and working, worrying about #leasehold law, watching #OnePiece live action and the new show Jujitsu Kaisen (or #jjk), finishing #wano arc (at last!), and also started a little course in #surveying to see if its interesting or bearable at all :)

And you?
