Which is a double pain in the dick for those of us who've bought old council flats.

Not known for having punitive, escalating ground rent charges designed to exploit hapless buyers and their asleep-on-the-job solicitors.

Only if the council still own the freehold. Our freehold was auctioned off in 2010 and bought by the infamous Triplerose, who do exactly this, and seem depressingly successful at it too.

Lobby your MP. If enough people do this now then there is a chance that the legislation will be extended to cover all leaseholds.
