Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to outline the reason for the delay in the implementation of the Housing Executive's new Leasehold Extension policy and procedures.

Answer:

Whilst the proposal to introduce a new Leasehold Extension Policy was approved by the Housing Executive’s Board in October 2020 the development of the policy has proven to be technically and legally complex. This resulted in the policy taking longer to develop than the Housing Executive had originally anticipated.
