Recommendation (the committee's words)
Homes England should ensure that providers include simple guidance on lease arrangements within the Key Information Documents distributed to shared owners, including information on how rights and responsibilities are allocated and guidance on how to extend the lease. It should also make sure it is clearly signposting to existing advice and guidance services that may be helpful to shared owners in understanding their leases, such as the Leasehold Advisory Service, in these documents. These changes to guidance should be introduced before the end of the 2024 calendar year.
