We are seeking views on plans to introduce a ban on new leasehold flats.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
This consultation sets out the government’s plans to introduce a ban on new leasehold flats.
We are seeking views from industry and consumers on:
- the scope of the ban
- the case for exemptions from the ban
- how a ban on new leasehold flats should operate as part of our approach to moving to the reformed commonhold model
- when a ban on leasehold for new flats should start and what transitional arrangements might be needed
- the costs and benefits in moving to commonhold and complying with the ban
We also invite feedback on the commonhold framework itself.
A Welsh (Cymraeg) version of this consultation is available.
