@louvaldani by all means have a crack at leasehold and ground rents, but this article has the wrong title. Service charge, high costs and issues with modern methods of construction (due to sucessive regulatory failure over the years) are the real problems. There was a significant amount of work undertaken by the CLG Select Committee on the onerous ground rents you talk of, they stated there were circa 15-18k of them and thats out of a population of 4.3m. A problem sure, but a small one and one that the industry has seemingly resolved in part. It is easy to paint a grim picture when confronted with all the articles out there, there is a very well orchestrated campaing that you have referred to with a hashtag. A vocal minority on a war path. @fredjones - as long as there is a choice then fine, on large developments you tend to find over 50% of flats are buy to let investments, so I think I know who I would prefer to own the building - a long term investor with an aligned interest, rather than a short term buy to let investor.

The article is doesn't concentrate on ground rent, these are largely nominal and fixed in a lease. It talks about high costs of living and maintaining these large apartment blocks. The lay person sees this as high service charges, which all go towards paying for upkeep. People pay service charge across every single type of tenure across the world - sometimes by a different name - but it is the same concept. Therefore, the tenure is irrelevant to the article.

Who wrote this? The article heading is very misleading. These issues have nothing to do with the tenure of the property!! It should say "Thinkinh of investing in a flat within a modern & large apartment block you may want to think again".
