Along the right lines

Article Abstract:

The 'Residential Leasehold Reform' consultation paper issued by the UK Dept of the Environment, Transport and the Regions contains proposals designed to make it easier for tenants to purchase their own blocks. Tenants will also have enhanced rights of self-management and greater control of managing agents. These proposals represent a positive development, but problems will continue to arise as long as ownership of blocks is seen as a type of investment. It is now time to move towards a commonhold system of the type already used in many other countries.
