Empower / entitle residential flat leaseholders to pursue commonhold ownership
To debate the merits of further strengthening of the Commonhold aspect of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill, with the purpose of introducing further legislation to empower all leaseholders with the rights to pursue the Commonhold ownership for a fair and equitable settlement.
The freehold system is out of date and grossly unfair to leaseholders. It is abused by unscrupulous freeholders and their property managers, who hide behind unclear legislation to exploit their position of power and control to excessively inflate service charges, for their gain, without accountability and transparency.
Parliament should now establish a straightforward and clear path to Commonhold ownership to enable leaseholder an equal say in the control and cost management of their building

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It is already possible to pursue a commonhold conversion and the UK Government is currently considering changes to the process. More details here: www.gov.uk/government/publications/commonhold-white-paper
You could start a new petition setting out more clearly what you think the UK Government or Parliament should do differently from what it is currently doing.
