Leasehold and freehold reform and estate management charges have been an ongoing fight for many of Richard's constituents and he recently received a reply from the Housing Ministry about the implementation of some of the reforms.
Richard Fuller MP said:
I am pleased that some progress has been made in the past year at national level, but also more locally with some of the steps taken by Bedford Borough Council.
Nevertheless, I still receive considerable correspondence from constituents on this subject and recently wrote to the Minister for Housing, Communities & Local Government, Matthew Pennycook MP following one such constituent request.
Whilst his response, or rather that of one of the department's civil servants, didn't particularly address the specific question I had raised, it does still contain a great deal of useful detail about the approach the government is taking to implementing the reforms contained in the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024.
