Charity Number 1162584 Annual Report to 30 April 2021
Overview
Like other charitable organisations, the Leasehold Knowledge Partnership was impacted by the global pandemic.
In person meetings were avoided during this period, although the organisation held numerous meetings via video that were attended by ministers, civil servants, MPs, former first minister of Victoria, Australia, leasehold sector professionals, consultants and other stakeholders.
The primary issue concerned payment of the multi-billion building safety costs.
In response to proposals to government that loans be imposed on leaseholders to pay to remediate unsafe buildings, LKP produced a detailed leasehold sector levy scheme to ensure that those who build the unsafe buildings paid to remediate them.
We argued that this was a sector failure that should involve contributions from commercial interests in the leasehold sector.
The LKP levy proposal played a principal role in debate over resolution of this crisis. (It was not until January 2022 that government agreed, abandoned loan schemes and introduced its own levy scheme on the sector.)
The year began with LKP briefing London housing assembly members on the importance of introducing commonhold tenure. The commonhold council, to which LKP participates followed this period covered in this report.
Other issues that were raised during this first pandemic year, were the two-storey planning permitted development consent given to the owners of residential freeholds; a renewed code of practice initiative by trade bodies in the sector; reference to alleged poor maintenance of flats in Scotland as an argument to retain leasehold in England.
Concerns were also raised about “fleecehold” charges on private estates unadopted by local authorities, which are now also tradeable property assets similar to residential freeholds.
Throughout the year, LKP continued to inform and advise leaseholders. Many were addressed by large video conference meetings; others had their concerns addressed individually by correspondence.
We continue to liaise with MPs to help unravel complex leasehold issues which are beyond the experience of most constituency staff.
Parliament and officials
LKP’s role as secretariat of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on leasehold and commonhold reform proved vital during this period.
It meant that a forum could be provided for detailed examination of solutions to the building safety crisis, solutions in overseas jurisdictions examined and detailed alternative proposals made.
In addition, LKP attended regular meetings online with officials involved in resolving the building safety crisis.
Patrons
The patrons of LKP remain: Sir Peter Bottomley MP (Conservative); Justin Madders (Labour); and Sir Ed Davey (LibDem). The chairs of the APPG on leasehold and commonhold reform are the same, with Daisy Cooper (LibDem) replacing Sir Ed Davey.
Funding
The pandemic impacted funding for the charity. The accreditation scheme income did not increase as we had hoped. Donations were also impacted. Donations are in any case an uncertain source, as leaseholders requiring the greatest assistance are invariably the ones with in the direst need.
