This month’s coverage has covered a real variety of topics and issues, and shows the breadth of the work carried out by the CA, and the areas in which its opinion is needed and actively sought. From mortgage prisoners to leasehold, rentcharges to upfront information, reservation agreements to the digital revolution happening in the sector, […]
From a political standpoint, September was a rather bizarre rollercoaster of a month and it looks likely that October will be more of the same. Indeed, at the time of writing, the party political conference season has taken a real back-seat to both Supreme Court & Parliamentary business. That is likely to continue. For the […]
We cannot deny that, politically at least, July was an incredibly eventful month, with a new Prime Minister, followed swiftly by a new Secretary of State at the MHCLG and a new Housing Minister. Clearly, all three have only been in position a matter of weeks so it’s difficult to gauge how they might differ […]
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.

March was a significant month for the CA and indeed the whole industry as we secured cross-industry support for a new Freehold Management Enquiries form. There are too many to mention here but the support of all those organisations means that we now have an industry solution to help provide the upfront information required in […]
February was a very busy month for the Association with a series of meetings taking place at the Tower of London on Valentine’s Day itself, the 14th of February. Love and legals was definitely in the air with a meeting of the Policy & Strategy Board (PSB), followed by the Legal Members’ Meeting and the […]
2019 kicked off with a continued focus on, arguably, 2018’s biggest industry issue – that was (and is) the changes required in the leasehold sector.
