Leasehold Lies and the Fight for Real Ownership | Liverpool News

You thought you owned your home—until you didn’t. Katie and Cath discovered they were trapped in a feudal leasehold system where ground rents skyrocketed and freeholders held all the power.

After years of fighting, they’ve won key wins—including the 2022 Leasehold Reform Act—and are pushing harder with the 2024 reforms that ban new leasehold homes and cap ground rents.
