<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Commonhold is form of freehold land ownership in England and Wales, established by the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.  Interestingly, fewer than 20 commonhold developments have been registered since its creation in 2002.</p>
Leasehold flats have been criticized over the years as they are a depreciating asset, with some landlords charging unregulated ground rents, and wielding a disproportionate threat of forfeiture of the lease.

Commonhold is proposed as a fairer ownership system. Changes to the current commonhold system have been suggested to deal with some of the problems which have left it unpopular and unused.
