"Government Plans to Scrap Leasehold Face Hurdles as Replacement Looms Large In a bid to provide long-overdue relief to millions of homeowners, the government has announced plans to abolish leasehold, a practice that allows property developers to charge exorbitant ground rents and restrict ownership rights.

The challenge lies in finding a suitable alternative that balances the needs of developers, homeowners, and the wider property market. With the UK's housing crisis showing no signs of abating, the government's decision to tackle leasehold will be closely watched by industry insiders and homeowners alike."
