Leasehold Reform Campaigns

Leasehold reform campaigns advocate for changes in property laws to give leaseholders greater rights and security. Many leaseholders face limitations on their ability to extend leases or buy the freehold, often incurring high costs. These campaigns aim to make leasehold arrangements fairer by reducing ground rent, simplifying the process of acquiring the freehold, and preventing unfair practices by freeholders (landowners). The goal is to empower leaseholders, making property ownership more equitable and transparent, and reducing financial burdens associated with long-term leases.
