Retrofitting Leasehold Properties
Guidance for local authorities on navigating the unique challenges of retrofitting leaseholder properties.
Making leaseholder homes warmer, healthier, and more energy efficient is challenging. As a result, many residents in mixed-tenure buildings are being excluded from opportunities to have greener and warmer homes with 36 per cent1 of all homes being owned by leaseholders and 62 per cent of flats being owned by a leaseholder. Meanwhile, carbon emissions continue to accumulate.
Retrofit London, local authority representatives, legal experts, and housing practitioners have convened in a collaborative effort to define the issues, offer practical guidance on navigating them, and identify areas where policy must change to ensure a fair transition. This report sets out the findings and recommendations from this working group.
