    the issue is that leasehold is a mill stone and thanks to the reform bill, which still hasn't happened cos NO politicians keep their word - it'll be another two years or more before i can sell a place that i've been trapped in for eleven years already when i expected to be able to move after three years.

      @HarryNicNicholas just saying Fleecehold is an emotive word where perhaps some analysis is needed to get a wider audience?. Which part of LAFRA will allow you to sell your flat?. Many leaseholders want historic ground rents cancelled but that argument is lost in the white noise around LAFRA.

    A lot of angry people complaining about paying for work that needs doing that someone needs to do?? - if you live in a block of flats the management fees are even higher. it’s the council not Barratt that should be spoken to as council tax is being paid. The govt wants more property built so should account for maintenance of the land! If I move into a home like this my first move is contacting local govt to appeal them refusing to maintain the land.

    • @taefravis
      @taefravis День тому

      Yes but the problem is that a lot of builders such as Barrats are NOT I repeat NOT making it clear that these fees are being charged and that they do not apply to all new build homes in the UK regardless of who builds them. Plus in many cases the work paid for is not carried out at all.
