Mr Richard Holden

Conservative — Basildon and Billericay

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 June 2025

Debate

Leasehold Reform

Contribution

I thank the hon. Lady for securing this incredibly important debate. One of the issues in my constituency, which is very similar to hers, is that people are buying new flats or houses under the freehold system, but with so many covenants involved that they are also being charged the sort of service charges that she has mentioned. Does she agree that whatever the Government do— I welcome the good approaches in this place—they must also cover some of the covenant issues around freehold?
