After years of frustration over rising charges, poor management, and limited rights, leasehold reform is finally gaining momentum. Lee Dillon explains how pressure from campaigners, residents, and Parliament is helping drive meaningful change.

Lee Dillon welcomes new Government action on unfair Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charges after raising the issue directly with ministers. The change follows campaigning by affected residents, local councils, and MPs, and could help prevent homeowners being hit with devastating bills for simple administrative mistakes.

As part of my work on the Housing, Communities, and Local Government Committee, I am pushing for stronger leasehold reforms to tackle unfair charges and give residents greater control.

After months of pressure in Parliament, the Government has now committed to consulting on reforms to unfair CIL rules affecting homeowners and self-builders.

I asked the Government to ensure new homes are not just built quickly, but safely, fairly and to a high standard.

New laws mean social landlords must act quickly to fix unsafe homes, a long overdue step for tenants living with damp and mould. Lee welcomes the change but says more must be done to improve energy efficiency and tackle fuel poverty.
