Mike Martin's leasehold voting record — Tunbridge Wells MP

Leasehold voting score

No tracked record yet

Mike Martin has not voted in any of the 7 leasehold divisions we currently track — often because they were elected at the 2024 general election, after these votes took place. We'll show their record here as soon as they vote on a tracked division.

Votes on housing matters next to leasehold — private renting (the Renters' Rights Bill) and building-safety/cladding costs. These are not leasehold-reform votes and are not counted in the A–F leasehold grade; we show them as extra context.

Why these are shown separately

The leasehold A–F grade is built only from divisions specifically on leasehold reform. Renters' Rights and building-safety votes concern renters and building-safety costs — related and relevant, but a different question — so we keep them in this separate lane with their own simple tally and never let them move the leasehold grade. As with the grade, the votes are fact and the "leaseholder-aligned" direction is our editorial reading.
