The issue of extortionate ground rent has been raised with me over many years with thousands of families across the country being held to ramsom by unscrupulous companies.

Thankfully The Labour government have now capped ground rent to a maximum of £250 per year.

Another example of Labour delivering on its promises:

That means if you are a leaseholder, and your ground rent is more than £250, you’ll be paying less.

This will make a huge difference to homeowners and will ease the cost of living for people across the country.
