In their election manifesto, Labour promised to tackle unregulated and unaffordable ground rent charges. So, is a £250 pound cap on ground rent real progress for homeowners? 

In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick sits down with the Standard’s deputy editor of homes and property Meghann Murdock to gauge the significance of the government’s latest announcement. Plus, she speaks to Harry Scoffin, the founder of Free Leaseholders, a grassroots activist group fighting for the abolition of the leasehold system, who puts forward a case for universal commonholds.
