英格兰300多万租赁产权业主获服务费新规：2027年起可索取账目、房东转嫁诉讼费须经批准
英国政府2026年11月12日向议会提交五套法规，英格兰超过300万名租赁产权公寓业主将分阶段获得针对不合理服务费的新权利。自2027年4月1日起，业主可随时要求房东提供服务费信息，包括往年收费情况；在挑战不合理费用时，房东须先取得法院或裁判庭批准才能把自身诉讼费转嫁给业主，业主则可以索回自己的法律费用。
自2027年11月1日起，业主将自动定期收到更清晰的保险与管理费信息，私人房东必须使用标准化的服务费账单、账目与年度报告；市镇与住房协会房东则自2028年11月1日起执行同一标准。这套改革依据《2024年租赁产权与永久产权改革法》实施，政府还计划在2026年圣诞节前向议会提交《共同持有与租赁产权改革法案》，其中包括把现有地租封顶为每年250英镑。
首相 Andy Burnham 表示，新规把权力交回公寓业主手中，让他们能质询每一笔收费；住房大臣 Matthew Pennycook 说，业主们受够了不透明的账单与飞涨的费用。政府同时就服务费改革开展咨询，截止日期为2027年2月12日。（来源：英国住房、社区和地方政府部）
Over 3 Million Leaseholders in England Gain New Rights on Service Charges from 2027
The UK government laid five sets of regulations before Parliament on November 12, 2026, giving more than three million leasehold flat owners in England new rights against rip-off service charges in phases. From April 1, 2027, leaseholders will be able to demand service-charge information from their landlord, including on previous years' charges, and landlords will need approval from a court or tribunal before passing their own legal costs on to a leaseholder who challenges excessive charges, while leaseholders will be able to recover their own legal costs.
From November 1, 2027, leaseholders will automatically receive clearer information on insurance and administration charges, and private landlords must use standardised service charge demands, accounts and annual reports; council and housing association landlords follow from November 1, 2028. The reforms are made under the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, and the government plans to bring the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill before Parliament before Christmas 2026, including capping existing ground rents at GBP 250 a year.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the new rules put power back in flat owners' hands to question every charge, and Housing Secretary Matthew Pennycook said leaseholders have had enough of opaque bills and soaring charges. A consultation on the service-charge reforms runs until February 12, 2027. (Source: UK Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government)
