“Housing secretary Michael Gove has said he wants to abolish the “feudal” leasehold system in a major overhaul of English housing.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Mr Gove said: “It is an outdated feudal system that needs to go.”
Nearly five million homes in England are leaseholds. The people who live in them can find themselves at the mercy of their freeholders, subject to extortionate service charges and unable to sell up.
So what is the history of leasehold, and are there ways to escape this system if you are already affected?”
