SUPPORT FOR LEASEHOLDERS

Early day motion 1187, tabled 25 April 2017 by Peter Bottomley (Conservative). Signed by 4 members.

That this House condemns the developers and sellers of houses unnecessarily marketed to first time buyers and others, especially if the ground rent provisions were onerous, and where the freeholds were sold on above the heads of leaseholders to investors who later demanded unfair, unreasonable or unjustified prices for sale of the freehold to the leaseholder, or charged fees above costs for adaptations to the home; and demands that Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon, Bellway, the Adriatic companies and others restore all affected leaseholders to a position of fair, affordable enjoyment of their home by assistance to own that freehold and by cancelling unaffordable ground rent terms.

Signatures by party: Conservative 1, DUP 1, Labour 1, Scottish National Party 1.
