The housing secretary has pledged new safeguards for leaseholders who are experiencing unfair treatment, marking a significant intervention during the Labour Party conference. The measures aim to address long-standing concerns over excessive fees, unfair clauses, and disputes in leasehold agreements. With leasehold ownership remaining a contentious issue for many homeowners, the announcement could signal a shift in policy priorities. Details on how the protections will be implemented and which leaseholders will benefit remain unclear.
The housing secretary used her Labour conference speech to announce protections for leaseholders facing 'injustice'.
