Details

The government has published a draft bill which aims to reform the commonhold and leasehold framework.

The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) gave a ‘green’ rating to the draft impact assessment from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government on 1 May 2026. This means that we considered it to be fit for purpose based on our scrutiny of the evidence and analysis supporting the case for why regulation is necessary. 

The RPC’s opinion refers to the evidence and analysis presented in the impact assessment, not the policy itself.
