The launch of the Commonhold Council

In May, the Housing Secretary, Robert Jenrick, revealed the launch of the Commonhold Council - a group of leading industry figures who will inform the government on the future of this type of homeownership. The experts will collaborate to advise and promote commonhold and as part of the government’s attempts to significantly reform property law in England.

More information on Commonhold and how it works can be found on our website.

And an outline of the government's proposals for leasehold enfranchisement reform can be found here.

Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick: "We are taking forward the biggest reforms to English property law for 40 years – and the widespread introduction of commonhold builds on our work to provide more security for millions of existing leaseholders across England."
