Very strongly agree

Yes, focus on banning new leaseholds for houses while reforming ground rent costs for flats

This matches Labour’s commonly stated approach: end/banning new leasehold houses and tackle ground rents/abuses in flats while moving toward commonhold (a pragmatic transition rather than instant blanket abolition).

Strongly agree

Yes

Labour has repeatedly backed moving away from leasehold toward commonhold and ending exploitative leasehold practices (e.g., support for banning leasehold houses and promoting commonhold in recent housing policy/manifesto-era commitments), so it would broadly agree with abolition/replacement.

Agree

No, focus on strengthening the rights of leaseholders to extend leases more cheaply

Labour supports strengthening leaseholders’ rights and making enfranchisement/lease extensions cheaper, but usually as part of a broader shift away from leasehold toward commonhold—so this is only partially aligned.

Slightly agree

Yes, immediate universal abolition of all existing and future leaseholds to grant homeowners full control

Labour is pro-abolition in direction, but ‘immediate universal abolition of all existing leaseholds’ is more sweeping than Labour’s typically phased, legislated transition (protecting building management arrangements and handling flats’ complexity).

Strongly disagree

No

A flat ‘No’ conflicts with Labour’s long-running stance that leasehold is often unfair and needs fundamental change, including a shift to commonhold and ending leasehold houses.

Very strongly disagree

No, set a policy that the current system provides a stable framework for building management

Labour has not argued the current leasehold system is a stable framework; it has criticised it as feudal/unfair and backed major reform/transition to commonhold, so it would strongly disagree.
