Richard Fuller MP said:
Reforming Freehold Estate Management Fees has genuine cross-party support and furthermore, government Ministers have repeatedly signalled their support to bring forward legislation when Parliamentary time allows.
The King's Speech, which sets the government's objectives between now and the next general election, will take place on Tuesday, November 7th and it is vital that Estate Management Fees are included in this as otherwise, there is little chance of legislation being implemented in the foreseeable future.
I will be presenting a petition to the Prime Minister on October 24th that calls for
a) reform of freehold management charges in the following ways:
- the right to fair and reasonable charges and services of a reasonable standard
- the right to challenge the reasonableness of the charges
- the right to bring a case to the First-tier (Property Chamber) Tribunal to appoint a new management company
- the introduction of a Right to Manage
- the creation of a redress scheme for property management companies, with powers of sanction
b) ensure that the new regime applies equally to existing freehold management charges as well as prospective freehold management charges.
Whatever your political persuasion, this is an important issue that affects many thousands of homeowners in North East Bedfordshire and indeed, across the entire country. Please join me in signing this petition and share on your own pages and groups so we can get the most signatures possible and send the strongest message to the Prime Minister that action needs to be taken now.
