This is the moment Anthony Essien, the long-term chief executive of the Leasehold Advisory Service (LEASE), referenced Katie Kendrick, co-founder of the National Leasehold Campaign, who “was kind enough to say at the last APPG that she was willing to meet me in the New Year”.

This is very generous of the NLC, which has refused to meet the Leasehold Advisory Service in the past.

On November 5, Miss Kendrick told the Select Committee:

“The campaigners feel that LEASE has been fully aware of what has gone on for several years. They have advised on the law, but we all know that the law is broken in this area.

“… they have done very little to present it in front of Government, to be honest. I feel that that was the job of LEASE, to see trends and to see where the law is broken, and to advise. If it was not for LKP and the like highlighting this issue, I feel they would have been looking the other way for even longer … We have lost faith in them, to be honest.”
