BBC News (UK) The ticking time bomb of #leasehold will really bite soon. What happens when all these leaseholders can’t pay their bills? This is financial blackmail. Financial prisoner.

10M voting leaseholders in Eng & Wales trapped by leasehold. Conservatives had every chance to abolish it but failed. Leaseholders now looking to Angela Rayner 🌹 & The Labour Party to honour their commitment to end leasehold. Millions of leaseholder votes could win the next election

The leasehold insurance scandal:

Freeholder: “here’s your insurance bill”
Leaseholder: “it’s tripled?”
FH: “you were underinsured/ market changed”
LH: “do you take commission?”
FH: “yes”
LH: “can we see paperwork?”
FH: “no”
LH: “what if we don’t pay?”
FH: “we can take your home”

A big no to banning forfeiture then from MPs who have been lobbied by freeholders, their own wealthy families & mates, the Royal Family & the Church of England. Apparently MPs work for us. 🤔 #leasehold #commonhold

The lobby group, Pensioners for Ground Rent, privately shows itself to be the small, empty group of private interests that critics have suspected; it is committed to forcing hapless leaseholders to go on paying ‘Money for Nothing’ in the form of Ground Rents. MPs should take note!

Pensioners for Ground Rent You know the impact assessment makes clear no compensation is payable?

I guess you also know most GR investments purchased at a fraction of their valuation?

You must know GR investments a tiny fraction of almost all pension funds?

You knew GR investments weren’t ESG compliant?

Why does a building literally have to fall down before any notice is taken?

Buildings being signed off not off not fit for purpose.

Just received a S20 notice for repair or replacement of communal and individual flat doors in my block. Can we still be charged for this? Should this not be covered under the BSA? #BuildingSafetyCrisis #EndOurCladdingScandal

LOOK at Valencia tonight Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities

EVEN IF buildings had a plan, what use is A PLAN when it comes to stopping rapid fire spread due to defects? Fire won't wait for a plan.

Today's data shows work isn't underway in 2286 buildings! 58% of the 3972 buildings you care to report so far!

Hard as it is to believe, there is a perfectly legal form of extortion in England and Wales. But it is only allowed to freeholders and it is known as forfeiture. The leasehold that you paid hundreds of thousands £££ to buy can be snatched back by the FH, even if you don’t owe £.

These stories should make you angry.

Government cannot justify the retention of forfeiture, a tool for freehold-owning sharks to bully homeowners to give in to their ransom demands.

Forfeiture is fundamental to leaseholder abuse and the service charges racket. IT MUST GO!

Matt H End Our Cladding Scandal Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities Michael Gove Lee Rowley But will Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities look at the Valencia fire raging & think at least blocks in the UK have a waking watch or alarm to keep them safe...which clearly wouldn't make ONE IOTA of difference in an inferno!

The laissez-faire approach to leaving homes unsafe for years is just staggering 😫

Terrifying news from Valencia in Spain tonight, where a 14 storey block of flats is on fire.

Last week in this video, we exposed the Pensioners for Ground Rent as a front organisation for ground rent investors. (1/5) x.com/FreeLeasehlder…

This is ridiculous and terrifying. Just reading this stresses me out for my own #leasehold - I don’t feel protected nor am I able to sell.

This must be stopped.

Matthew Pennycook MP - FYI.

Another night of no sleep & panic attacks. Huge uplifted service charges I cant pay, uplifted mortgage payment I’m struggling with. Constant #debt stuck with a flat I can’t sell. I’m a trapped #leaseholder 💔 Michael Gove Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities #buildingsafetycrisis #endourcladdingscandal
