Part of Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill - Report (and remaining stages) – in the House of Lords am 5:45 pm ar 24 Mai 2024.
I think the noble Lord misunderstood to a certain extent what I was saying. Forfeiture rarely happens; that is the point. It is merely the threat of forfeiture that ensures that people abide by their leases, and at the moment, as he mentioned, there is no system in place to ensure that people abide by those leases unless you go to the High Court, which is a very lengthy and expensive process. Without some such system, you will increasingly have anti-social behaviour and bodies such as Airbnb installed in residential blocks, and at the moment, there is very little recourse.
