The Residential Revolution Podcast | Episode 8: The Death of Residential Leasehold? | With Toby Boncey and Edward Blakeney
We are pleased to share the latest episode of The Residential Revolution, a Falcon Chambers production examining the significant legislative developments that have reshaped the residential landlord and tenant landscape in recent years.
In this eighth episode, The Death of Residential Leasehold?, Toby Boncey and Edward Blakeney cover a particularly topical issue: the Government’s ambition to bring residential leasehold to an end and replace it with commonhold as the default form of ownership for flats.
Drawing on the provisions within the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill as published earlier this year, the discussion examines why leasehold has become politically unpopular, the key differences between leasehold and commonhold, and the challenges involved in transitioning from one system to the other.
What could these proposed reforms mean for landlords, leaseholders, managing agents, developers and property practitioners? And will commonhold solve the problems that leasehold has long been criticised for? The position may be more complicated than it seems.
