MPs cited unclear estate charges, poor service by FirstPort and gaps in protection for leaseholders; Matthew Pennycook said the Government would legislate this session to fix the 2024 Act, consult on valuation rates within weeks and tighten regulation of managing agents, but did not give a date for the main reform bill.

MPs challenged the Government over developers failing to deliver promised roads, facilities and repairs, while Steve Reed said ministers would legislate for a new homes ombudsman, consider compulsory minimum warranties and make leasehold charges clearer; a separate row over planning rules left unresolved demands for a Commons debate and vote on the NPPF.
