Abolish Leasehold Law

Suggested by and tagged . Comment.

The big idea

Leasehold is an archaic, complicated, unfair and often abused system. The system allows exploitation of leaseholders by the freeholder, and is biased toward the landlord. Large buildings such as blocks of residential flats should be under the control of the people who live there and they should be allowed to own their own properties outright. Current leasehold blocks should be converted to commonhold.

Why does this matter?

It will give many people much more control over the environment in which they live and would remove the ability of one individual to 'lord it' over others.
