Read the original article on lbc.co.uk (opens in a new tab)LBC reports the housing minister's new service charge rules for leaseholders, keeping his strongest words, such as "routinely gouged" and "feudal", in quotation marks and attributed to him. The one problem is that the article gives two different start dates for the rules, April next year and 1 November 2027, without explaining the difference. A reader cannot tell when the new rights begin.
Minor
“set to come into force from April next year”
How we know
“has vowed to “dismantle the feudal leasehold system””
LBC keeps the minister's charged description of the system in quotation marks and attributes it to him, rather than adopting it in its own voice.
“whether their building is owned by a private landlord, council or housing association”
It tells the reader plainly which kinds of building the rules cover, so leaseholders know whether the change applies to them.
“requiring them to use standardised service charge demand forms and provide financial accounts and an annual report”
It sets out the concrete obligations the rules place on private landlords, beyond the minister's slogans.
