By s.87, Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993, the Secretary of State has power to approve codes of practice in relation to the management of residential long leasehold blocks. Currently, he has approved (for non-retirement properties) the 2nd Edn of the RICS Code. Well, those nice people at RICS are consulting on the 3rd Edn of their code (here) and I’d imagine that the Secretary of State will approve it in due course. So, anyone with an interest in these matters should respond to RICS, ASAP and, in any event, before August 30, 2013.

J is a barrister. He considers housing law to be the single greatest kind of law known to humankind and finds it very odd that so few people share this view.
