Leaseholders' Rights Bill

I was around at the time, just about, and I remember that people were given bad advice. The mood was in favour of buying. Children told their parents "Go on, buy your flat, it would be good." However, no one looked at the small print, which said that people would have to pay not just for things connected directly with their flats, but for the district heating system and the gardens. Suddenly they were facing bills that were much bigger than they had ever contemplated.
