It was answered by Baroness Taylor of Stevenage (Labour) on Wednesday, 4 March 2026 on behalf of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.


Leasehold: Valuation

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government for what proportion of leasehold properties development value makes the exercise of collective enfranchisement prohibitively expensive; and what measures they will take to ensure that enfranchisement is financially feasible for affected leaseholders.

Answer

My Department does not hold the requested data.

We are committed to implementing the provisions of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, which will make enfranchisement cheaper and easier. I refer the Noble Baroness to the response given in the House of Commons on 14 January 2026 UIN 103549 (attached) about these provisions.
