Talk:Fleecehold

How to deal with this article?

This article breaches WP:NPOV in several ways. The title itself is intentionally derogatory, and the entire text conflates the 'onerous terms' it criticises with the restrictive terms that are an essential part of any English leasehold contract. Thoughts on how best to deal with it are welcome. Perhaps redirect to new, neutrally-worded sections in Freehold (law) and Leasehold estate? MichaelMaggs (talk) 08:33, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Fleecehold is a common name used by the media and parliament

At an early stage the article was hijacked by an activist to include "leasehold", which is a separate system with its own issues; and further editors then piled in to add stuff about leasehold; there are various parallels with leasehold, and unfortunately the term "fleecehold" in common parlance is sometimes used to mean onerous leasehold (and there is even a theatrical play called "fleecehold" that is about leasehold).

It's not clear how to deal with this - there is a genuine concept here (freehold with unusual obligations), which too many people are at pains to conflate with similar things Mk270 (talk) 12:35, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
