Welcome to our September wrap-up, your monthly snapshot of what’s shaping the investment property space and what’s been happening behind the scenes here at My Property Group.
As always, our goal is to keep you, our partners, in the know, connect you with the right opportunities, and share a little of what life’s like inside the MPG team.
So what’s going on?
Leasehold Reform: More Rights, Less Hassle
The government has just announced big changes to help the millions of people stuck in outdated leasehold systems, and it’s a really welcome step forward. Under the new Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, leaseholders will finally get more transparency around service charges and insurance, along with protection from landlords trying to pass on hefty legal bills even when a challenge is successful. It’s about giving homeowners the clarity and fairness they’ve been asking for, and making sure landlords can’t hide behind complicated paperwork or surprise charges. (gov.uk)
What’s great is that these reforms don’t just stop at clearer costs – they also mean residents get more influence over managing agents and tougher standards for how buildings are run. Add to that the longer-term plan to move away from leasehold altogether and towards commonhold, and it feels like a real turning point. For too long, leaseholders have been at the mercy of a system stacked against them, but this announcement shows that change is finally on the way. (gov.uk)
The Property & Entrepreneur Summit London Social
London’s property scene came together for a networking night at the Property & Entrepreneur Social hosted by Paul Stapleton. Held in Central London and backed by sponsors White Label and Merryoaks, the event brought together a buzzing mix of property pros, entrepreneurs, and ambitious go-getters. The room was full of great chats, new ideas, and genuine connections – exactly the kind of night you’d want if you’re serious about growth and collaboration. If you missed it… you’ll definitely want to catch the next one.
