As we have discussed in our previous articles, it was announced in the King’s Speech that the Government’s legislative programme would include draft legislation on leasehold and commonhold reform: the “Draft Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill.”

This implied that the Government might leave the previous Conservative Government’s legislation, The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, on the shelf and perhaps implement a wider set of reforms consolidating the existing law following the recommendations made by the Law Commission.
