Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Bill [Lords]

My hon. Friend has in many ways made the point I was going to make. These people were often first-time buyers, keen to get on to the housing market

and get their first home. They were told, “Don’t use this solicitor or that solicitor; use these ones, and we will give you a discount to use them”, and—shock, horror—many were not even aware, as my hon. Friend has made clear, of the property being leasehold, let alone of all the other charges associated with that.
