Leasehold New House Builds

Stop the unfolding next financial scandal, whereby housebuilders are selling new houses leasehold rather than freehold and then selling on those freeholds to investing companies, who then charge huge sums for the freehold

Why is this important?

A housing development locally is using this to sell houses on their new development and nowhere in their literature do they mention this underhand practice
