Leasehold is basically a racket and should be outlawed.

It is political though if it affects a lot of people. All they've said is they'd look into it. Won't be long before Corbyn is accused, by the usual suspects,of breaking a promise he didn't make to leaseholders

What would you replace it with? For a block of apartments for example?

According to the solicitor, they do.

He also said that the most recent pertinent legislation was in the 1980s, I think, but I've not yet looked online to find any more info.

You can make them condominiums, where every unit owner has an ownership share in the whole building, and the unit owners collectively own the freehold.

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

It's hard enough to get on the property ladder as it is without scams like this twisting the knife when you have!

The UK is sick and needs some medicine. The question is what medicine. Much of it should be cross party policies.

Awful how this island is going.

Yes, people have a lot in common and should work together on housing and so on. The us vs them aspect of politics and the culture in general has gone into overdrive and is pure self indulgence.
