Some leasehold properties may NOT be subject to ground rent cap
Summary
The government is consulting on a possible new exemption that could mean some leasehold properties are not covered by the proposed ground rent cap. The article indicates this is a developing policy issue rather than a final change to the law.
Why it matters
Ground rent reform affects leasehold valuation, sales, and due diligence, so surveyors may need to track whether certain properties fall outside any future cap. It is relevant to advising clients on lease terms and potential impacts on marketability.
Key points
- Government consultation is considering an exemption to the ground rent cap
- Some leasehold properties may not be covered by the proposed cap
- The issue is still under consultation and not yet settled
