Moving to commonhold: banning leasehold for new flats

​​This consultation sets out the government’s plans to introduce a ban on new leasehold flats.

We are seeking views from industry and consumers on: 

• the scope of the ban 
• the case for exemptions from the ban
• how a ban on new leasehold flats should operate as part of our approach to moving to the reformed commonhold model
• when a ban on leasehold for new flats should start and what transitional arrangements might be needed
• the costs and benefits in moving to commonhold and complying with the ban

​We also invite feedback on the commonhold framework itself.​

A Welsh (Cymraeg) version of this consultation is available.
