Our News Coverage | June 2019

June has proven to be a very significant month for the CA, with our PSB and Legal/All Member Meetings on the 26th coinciding with some very significant announcements from the Secretary of State for the DCLG on a variety of leasehold issues. Alongside outlawing developers from offering leasehold houses through the Help to Buy scheme, signing them up to a charter and opening up a consultation on a New Homes Ombudsman, we heard that new rules will be introduced, meaning freeholders/managing agents must provide info to leaseholders within 15 days and at a max fee of £200.

The CA, and particularly our Director of Delivery, Beth Rudolf, has been lobbying for this change for the best part of six years and to finally achieve such a result is a testament to everyone who has supported this measure during that period. It shows the strength of this Association and what can be achieved when we work together with both members and the industry. For further details please read Lloyd Davies’ blog – All good things come to those who wait? – the link is below.
