Mass email campaign urges action on leasehold reform

Leaseholders across the nation have taken part in a coordinated mass email action event directed at MPs and Government ministers. 

The campaign, organised by the National Leasehold Campaign, flooded parliamentarians’ inboxes with calls for leasehold action. 

This collective effort aimed to express frustrations regarding the Government’s failure to release the long-awaited draft Leasehold and Commonhold Bill, which was originally promised by the end of 2025.

In the emails, leaseholders articulated their disappointment and concern over being left in the dark for yet another Christmas, feeling abandoned and angry.

The lack of action left leaseholders questioning whether real change will ever happen.

Leaseholders are urging politicians to prioritise the introduction of the draft bill as they return to Parliament.

The mass email also calls for urgency to switch on the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 (LAFRA).

‘Time to deliver justice for leaseholders’

Jo Darbyshire, co-founder of the NLC, said:

“The Government must deliver full justice for leaseholders – no more excuses or delays. The history of leasehold reform is one that repeats itself and has done for decades. This Government has the chance to break this cycle.”

Katie Kendrick, co-founder of the NLC, added:

“Leaseholders have been extremely patient, but patience is wearing thin. We want to remind the Government that we have been waiting since 2017 for something to emerge and every year there has been yet another reason for a delay. It is no wonder trust, and confidence is at an all-time low. The question remains; will the draft bill be the salvation for leaseholders or a damp squib?”

Cath Williams, co-founder of the NLC, said:

“Labour sits on the precipice between success and failure of their leasehold manifesto promises and we can only wait for the New Year to find out which it will be. NLC is ready to either celebrate or call their 34,000 members to action.”
