Petition Action

Regulate property management companies & fees charged on freehold properties.

Petition Details

Section 106 Agreements relate to negotiations between developers & planning authorities which frequently leave homeowners in a position forced to pay for open space which is not their property and over which they have no influence.

Additional Information

Most new build estates now carry management charges on freehold properties. This means homeowners pay full council tax and also management charges. Planning permission has often been granted with the council relinquishing responsibility for adopting certain open communal spaces. The charges cover the maintenance of these. These charges are not yet regulated and whilst published charges may be given upon purchase, these could escalate. There is also limited avenues of recourse.
