🗨️“Unfortunately, this year’s costs are higher, largely as a result of building safety legislation creating the need for more building inspections and increasing building insurance costs.'

🚨 @lee4NED @MichaelGove why are innocent leaseholders paying for this crisis❓

No leaseholder will be surprised to read this thread. The amount of money flowing into the hands of those who have monetised our homes is not worth giving up without a fight. The lobbying must be off the charts. #BuildingSafetyCrisis #EndOurCladdingScandal

We told Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities that it’s too little, too late – still no one can tell us how many people are going to be helped and what ‘good’ will look like.

Good morning Jeremy Hunt

Leaseholders trapped in the building safety crisis have seen huge increases in buildings insurance premiums, some in excess of 1,000% 💸

Insurance Premium Tax adds 12%

Is it acceptable for HM Treasury to profiteer from this crisis❓

Treasury Committee

'The current government has one final chance to make good on the promises it has made.'

Michael Gove Lee Rowley Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities have an opportunity right now to finally protect all leaseholders.

Will they take it or duck it?

The Fire Protection Association

✍️ Peter Apps 'As it stands, of 3,839 buildings above 11 metres being monitored by the government due to the need for cladding remediation, 2,286 have not even started works yet.

This is also almost certainly an undercount of the total number of buildings which need to be fixed'

#WakingWatch is a scam. We've said this to govt & National Fire Chiefs Council for years.
The bigger SCAM: Lee Rowley
Michael Gove Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities Home Office look the other way as National Fire Chiefs Council & fire services force this Scam onto innocent leaseholders to cover their backs.

The PAS 9980 standard 'focuses on the assessment of risk to occupants and as such does not address the cost of insurance for property protection'

Insurers focus on property protection.

Leaseholders are charged extortionate premiums 💸

See the problem Lee Rowley❓

Let that sink in… 80 months ago and despite all the immediate promises of “never again”, there remains no justice for the survivors or the bereaved.

Those who are responsible not only remain free, they remain in healthy profits.

Level up those consequences! Michael Gove Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities

A brilliant video from Evan Edinger showing the ludicrous state of the UK's #BuildingSafetyCrisis & the utter lack of progress by those in power to fix it.

Great to speak with Rosanna Lockwood on the leasehold scandal and sky-high service charges. Broadcasters generally shun this topic so a big thank you to her for the coverage and for caring. It’s telling that the Residential Freehold Association couldn’t field anyone to debate us. Not even an intern!

All conversions, all req planning permission, all have #buildingsafetycrisis issues built by 🤠

'Michael Gove is expected to announce that a law allowing commercial buildings to be turned into homes without planning permission will extend to shops and offices of any size.'

What could possibly go wrong?

Psyched to read this. Michael Gove knows reforming leasehold out of existence is what any serious govt has to do if it wants to deal with intergenerational inequality. My generation will rise up if the housing crisis remains! John Burn-Murdoch PricedOut thetimes.co.uk/article/michae…

'The companies were also ordered to pay waking watch costs and to retrospectively pay for work done before the Building Safety Act took effect — setting a further precedent to help flat owners nationwide who have been crippled by these costs.'

'The court ordered Get Living and its subsidiary Stratford Village Development Partnership, the site’s developer, to pay £18 million towards making five of the 66 blocks at East Village safe.'

The 'Post Office Syndrome' appears in other parts of society, which is one reason why the TV series resonated with so many. I had to pay similar £s to my freeholder to sell my flat, which was otherwise virtually unsellable due to a toxic ground rent clause mol.im/a/10153527

Huge thanks to End Our Cladding Scandal Giles Grover and all leaseholders who gave testimony to the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill.

It takes huge amounts of time to be prepared to stand up in formal settings like these, and the courage to do so should be applauded.

One step closer.
