The UK and Welsh Governments have, today, 4 July 2025, launched a two-part consultation that includes proposals seeking to hold landlords and managing agents to account — Strengthening Leaseholder Protections Over Charges and Services.
The House of Commons Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee has held a one-off evidence session to examine how property management companies operate and the impact this has on homeowners. Held on 17 June 2025, the session explored concerns about high service charges, lack of transparency, and limited control over how estates are managed, issues that Propertymark has repeatedly raised in our calls for regulation.
Eight years after the Grenfell Tower tragedy, which claimed 72 lives, tens of thousands of people remain in unsafe homes, with remediation efforts slow and riddled with uncertainty, according to the new report from the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MCLHG) and the Welsh Government have proposed new regulations overhauling how insurance costs are charged to leaseholders in multi-occupancy buildings, to increase transparency and prevent leaseholders from being overcharged through commissions and hidden fees. While Propertymark supports efforts to ensure fairness for leaseholders, we have warned Ministers that these reforms alone will not bring down insurance premiums; a focus on building safety and insurer confidence is needed to achieve real change.
