I'd taken your primary meaning as meaning the buyer had a choice and that government should not interfere with the market. I agree wholeheartedly with the point about seller provided conveyancing.
After posting I had a memory flash and recalled writing a note for my son on the subject. He'd been present during a discussion with his g/f's sister and her chap about leaseholds (they were prospective first time buyers) and had volunteered me as somebody possibly in the know.
The information in my note was not passed on and a leashold house (new build) bought. I hope that my fears about mortgageability upon resale are not realised.
