The Master of the Rolls, Lord Neuberger, has called for the law on residential leasehold to be consolidated and simplified.

He said that cobbled-together, last-minute amendments meant that the courts were then called on to decide what the various laws had intended.
Some three million people live in an estimated 1.6m leasehold flats and houses in England and Wales.
