    And meanwhile, excessive service fees charged to leaseholders, often in the thousands of pounds per year, continue.

      Indeed. Sounds like they’re aware of this but aren’t moving that quickly on it:

      The government says its leasehold reforms will build on planned changes to make service charge bills clearer and help people challenge unfair costs.

      Just had a quick browse throught the full draft document and it suggests that they’re going to give tenants more visibility and control over leasehold charges, but I don’t really know enough about the issue to be able to say how that will shake out in practice.
