Abolish the unfair leasehold system

Scrap the unfair, outdated leasehold system and replace it with commonhold to give homeowners real ownership of their homes

Why is this important?

The leasehold system is an outdated relic that means millions of people own their home, but not the ground it's built on. This leaves them trapped paying ever-increasing ground rents and unfair service charges to a landlord who owns the land.

This system is unfair and exploitative. It’s time to follow the example of other countries and switch to a system of commonhold, giving people genuine, full ownership of their homes and land. Let's give homeowners security and scrap this unjust system for good

How it will be delivered

Shared with people and delivered to the government when it has reached enough support.
