- Leasehold ban in England and Wales unlikely before next general election, minister says
The UK housing minister, Matthew Pennycook, states that a ban on new leasehold properties in England and Wales is unlikely before the next general election. He emphasizes the need for a gradual implementation to avoid housing supply disruptions and legal challenges, despite the 2024 legislation banning leaseholds on new houses and plans to extend the ban to flats.
