answer text: As set out previously, the Government remains committed to spreading the benefits of freehold ownership and to establishing commonhold for owners of flats. We have established the Commonhold Council - a partnership of industry, leaseholders and Government - to help prepare consumers and the market for the widespread take-up of commonhold. We also asked the Law Commission to make recommendations on how to invigorate the legal framework for commonhold. We are reviewing their proposals and will respond in due course. We have already ended ground rents for most new residential leases, and have announced that we will make it easier and cheaper for leaseholders to extend their lease or buy their freehold. Details of our future legislative approach will be set out in the usual way.
