The cost of indecision: When waiting for leasehold reform becomes a liability Discover the hidden costs of delaying lease extensions in the UK. As leasehold reform stalls, leaseholders face rising premiums and marriage value risks. Act now to avoid financial pitfalls.

Reform was meant to bring clarity and fairness. Instead, it has delivered delay, uncertainty, and rising costs ⬆️

This is so disingenuous of them. Giving to a charity should be a voluntary act, not something you're forced into doing because of archaic property laws.

Have just read all of that and am now of the opinion that this is just going to drag on and on and on and the fat cat freeholders will do everything in their power to stall. Meanwhile my lease is getting shorter and shorter and I hang on in quiet desperation waiting to buy my freehold !

Freehold owning charity in judicial review says 'disastrous' leasehold reforms will benefit millionaires and deprive poor children - Leasehold Knowledge Partnership The John Lyon's Charity - one of the freeholders mounting a judicial review against the leasehold reforms next week - has made a public plea to scrap the changes (in full below).

This is simply not a human rights fight as any non-lawyer would see it: it is fight over comparatively recent income streams cobbled together by the property sector to the detriment and expense of ordinary homeowners.

Sat on the London Tube and these fake advertisements are everywhere.

If they spent as much money on ensuring the scheme worked than what they do recruiting and enticing innocent future victims the floored scheme may stand a better chance of helping the people it says it can help.

Advertising Standards Authority say 'part buy, part rent' is misleading The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) rule that 'part buy, part rent' terminology in national shared ownership campaign is misleading.

Metro and especially developers' client propagandist hack Andrea Dean pump out this crap at least three times a week. I have never seen them even mention the serious, severe downsides of shared ownership etc. It's effectively advertising so should be governed by the ASA.

These kind of false advertisements should not be allowed. They are not honest.

Using 'Help To Buy' Slogan and claiming to sell a 'Dream' is very much part of the problem.
