The Leasehold scandal has brought shame on some housebuilders and caused misery for those who bought homes from them.

Its a practice that is waning due to government intervention and a firm promise to tackle this licence to boost profits at buyers expense.
The Government has promised legislation to reduce ground rents on future leases to zero and to ensure new houses will be sold on a leasehold basis.

In his first Prime Ministers Question Time, Boris Johnson also spoke in support for the campaign to help existing leaseholders, who are struggling with the rising cost of ground rents and who are finding it difficult to sell their home as a result.
