To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1.
Recognises that leasehold residential contracts continue to represent a
significant proportion of new build properties in Wales; and
a)
that leasehold residential contracts are often offered on disadvantageous
terms, resulting in detriment to the home-owner; and
b)
that leasehold home-owners have little protection from unreasonable fees and
unreasonable delays when buying, selling or improving their property.
2.
Notes the UK Government's proposed ban on the sale of new-build leasehold
properties in England.
3.
Believes that the Welsh Government should take action to protect future
home-owners by abolishing leasehold residential contracts in Wales.
