The battle for buying your freehold at a fair price

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, The battle for buying your freehold at a fair price

The David v Goliath legal fight for the right to buy your freehold at a fair price.

For the first time hundreds of leasehold home owners have joined together in a 'David and Goliath' legal fight for a fair price to buy the freehold on their properties.

It's been described as a "David and Goliath" contest. Hundreds of leasehold home owners have joined together - for the first time - to begin a legal fight to take control of the freehold on their properties. They want investment companies, which bought the freeholds, to sell them for a fair price.

Renovare is a new 'banking solution' for ex-offenders, charging £7.99 a month for its services.  We speak to Chief Executive David Bright about their funding model.

And now we know Brexit will happen, what do we know it will mean for your consumer rights and personal finances?
