Matthew Pennycook emphasized the urgency and care needed for leasehold reform, saying, "We are determined to act as quickly as possible to protect leaseholders suffering from unfair practices, but we're equally determined to take the time necessary to ensure our reforms are watertight and to the lasting benefit of leaseholders." His commitment to complete these reforms before the next election reflects the government's long-term strategy to address these issues.
Pennycook referred to the previous Conservative government’s reforms as limited, stating, "Gove had promised to end the system altogether, but ended up passing a more limited package of reforms which included a ban on selling new houses under leasehold and making it easier for tenants to manage their own buildings." This highlights the ongoing struggle to achieve comprehensive reform in the leasehold market.
