Leasehold Reform

Proceeding contribution from Mark Tami (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 May 2023. It occurred during Opposition day on Leasehold Reform.

My hon. Friend is being generous with her time. I have met many people, particularly first-time buyers, who purchased a leasehold property and were offered a discount by the developer selling the house for using its lawyer for the transaction. Surprise, surprise—the fact that it was leasehold and the pitfalls were never pointed out to them. That seems to be a common practice.
