Gary Scott featured in property press on leasehold reform
Housing minister Matthew Pennycook has confirmed that the Government intends to end leasehold, and make commonhold the ‘default’ tenure during the current parliament.
Partner Gary Scott has been quoted widely in the property press on this news.
Gary remarks:
“The fact that the Government has recognised the complexity of the task they have set themselves is a positive news.
“The announcement that the 2-year rule will be gone in January will be very welcome news. It served no purpose in modern times and merely gave lessees an additional layer of documentation to have to deal with when buying or selling leases.”
