geared Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Just plans at the moment, which have been talked about for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Yes, it's merely HMG re-announcing plans previously promulgated by the Law Commission. I doubt that there's Parliamentary time available at present, what with Virus-related matters. Even once a Bill is read, there'll be major debates on its various changes; and amendments; and inevitably a lengthy period from enactment to commencement. My wish is that MPs/the L.C. might use the chance to modernise/re-write/consolidate scores of interlocking Acts (which often amend previous ones quite severely) into a single, accessible whole. That would greatly help everyone: landlords and tenants in particular, quite apart from solicitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geared Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Wait until it's put before Parliament as a bill to vote on before worrying about it. You know how the Government is with announcing plans and delivering F-all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant sell a house as coppen wont reply sick of it Yes, you can. If all that you need is a Coppen ground rent receipt or consent to alterations, that might be sidestepped by an Indemnity Insurance policy. Ask your solicitor. The re-re-announcement is not necessarily 'rubbish', but the legislation has yet to be drafted/proposed/debated/amended/enacted/commenced. All that is likely to take quite a long time. Don't hold your breath... Edited January 11, 2021 by Jeffrey Shaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
