MBL: Leasehold Reform

Felicity Hannah and guests answer your questions about the latest plans for leasehold reform, e-mail moneybox@bbc.co.uk now with your questions and experiences.

What could the new plans for leasehold reform mean for you? Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has announced what he calls the biggest reforms to English property law for 40 years, making it easier and cheaper for leaseholders to buy their freehold or extend their lease and introducing Commonhold tenure.

On Wednesday's programme Felicity Hannah and guests take a look at the new proposals and ask how the system works in Scotland, where leaseholds were abolished in 2004. On the panel:

Alan Cook, Partner, Pinsent Masons, Glasgow
Sebastian O鈥橩elly, CEO, Leasehold Knowledge Partnership
Dona Awano, Solicitor, Commonhold and Leasehold Experts Limited
