'It is to be hoped that the Committee’s report and recommendations will act as a catalyst encouraging greater awareness of the need for advocacy for shared owners’ best interests, and a joined-up approach between regulators, and other bodies, to deliver this.'

Faye Brown Mike V Cladding Victim  Matthew Pennycook MP Rendall & Rittner openly admitted to taking a 10% commission on top of the 2.5% commission the insurance broker takes. Commissioning on insurance shouldn't be allowed. The higher the insurance cost, the higher their commission becomes.

I’m hearing a growing number of horror stories on service charge increases from friends with leasehold properties. It feels as though the flood gates have now opened. Letters going into local MPs.

As I said, the government were warned, hopefully action will be urgently taken

Most large housing associations in England, who are developers as well as registered providers.

Though they tend to only communicate about their 'not-for-profit' entities.

Look at 'London & Quadrant', one of the largest.

📣 There's still time to tell us how the home buying and selling process could be improved in England.

We want to hear from you about the transaction process, information provision and conveyancers.

Have your say by 18 April 👉 committees.parliament.uk/call-for-evide…

🚨 Shared owners, please tell the Committee about your buying and selling experience 👇

Richmond House Residents No - no defects, no RAAC, no cladding.

Just that there is only a single building insurance provider in the market.

Matthew Pennycook MP Housing Associations MUST be made to buy back if the property is unsellable. I cannot sell my flat for safety issues way outside of my control, yet I need to continue paying mortgage, service charges and rising rent costs. I am completely stuck whilst they turnover millions.

🗣️Mike Amesbury MP
'They’ve shelled out massive increases in insurance premiums and on fire alarm systems. Now they must endure noise and disruption over a two-year period. Companies responsible for this fiasco should hang their heads in shame.'

Passive income = money for doing nothing, unearned. It's like another layer of taxation but not by your government, by your landlord.

Joseph Elliott Exactly the same for me. Buildings insurance has multiplied by TEN TIMES, communal electricity now costs me more than the electric for my own flat, somehow the estimate for the upcoming year is higher than last despite costs falling. Service charge up £90 a month.

Mojo Residents Rushanara Ali 💙 you’re aware that Mojo Residents have been trapped in a block with unsafe cladding for 4+ years. Will you get this removed now so cladding investigation works can finally start?!

'The sums don't add up' - Leaseholders shocked as bills go up by 215%

Cladding Victim  Identical situation here. HA building but run by a Managing Agent. Who takes an annual admin fee? The HA. For doing sweet FA. What a rip off Leasehold & Shared Ownership truly is. Exposed in full by the #BuildingSafetyCrisis .

Ben Fry Gresham House ✍️ on shared ownership: 'generating a secure, inflation-linked income for investors' 💰

Meanwhile, shared owners continue to struggle with annual above-inflation rent increases & sky-high service charges. 💸

Unethical.

Our service charges are up 78% since 2014. We need a cap on service charges and to be able to hold those raising the service charge to account.

We are cash cows and it’s not fair! We need a louder The Labour Party voice on all things leasehold, building safety and service charges!

🎶'We are the trade body to almost 600 housing associations, who have grown from philanthropic roots to provide 2.6 million homes to around 6 million people.'

Hmm...
