Question
22. What steps she is taking to reform the leasehold sector.
Answer
The Government will introduce the commonhold and leasehold reform Bill this year, marking the beginning of the end of the feudal leasehold system. We will continue implementing the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 as quickly as possible, and we will bring forward further legislation for the independent statutory regulation of property agents.25% vibes
Verdict: GREEN (82/100)
The reply directly answers the question by naming concrete leasehold reform activity: a commonhold and leasehold reform Bill this year, continued implementation of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, and further legislation on regulating property agents. One statement in the reply is rhetorical and adds no substance, and the answer gives no detailed timetable, so a reader may still want more specifics on delivery dates.
