To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

1. Recognises that leasehold residential contracts continue to represent a significant proportion of new build properties in Wales; and

a) that leasehold residential contracts are often offered on disadvantageous terms, resulting in detriment to the home-owner; and

b) that leasehold home-owners have little protection from unreasonable fees and unreasonable delays when buying, selling or improving their property.

2. Notes the UK Government's proposed ban on the sale of new-build leasehold properties in England.

3. Believes that the Welsh Government should take action to protect future home-owners by abolishing leasehold residential contracts in Wales.
