Housebuilders including Redrow, Taylor Wimpey, Bellway, Barratts and Persimmon have agreed not to sell such homes unless they have to, as part of an agreement with the Welsh Government. Regeneration Minister Rebecca Evans said she was considering an outright ban on leasehold contracts, which critics said forced homeowners to face rising ground rents.
