Leaseholder Calum Matheson was offered £200 after complaining to the watchdog about his managing agent – but was told he would have to keep it a secret. 🤫

He and other residents had their energy tariffs retrospectively increased and were backbilled. (They have heat networks.)

My dad died last week, my heart is broken 💔. He stood beside me at many protests and gave me the strength to fight this corrupt system.

My dad said in his final days 'Don't trust them Katie. Don't give up'

Michael Gove how many more people have to die before you take action?

We need action not excuses from freeholders and developers on building safety. Leaseholders have been unable to move on with their lives for far too long. Freeholders and developers failing to act should expect to face the full force of the law.

LEASEHOLD REFORM CAMPAIGN UPDATE:

A message to Rishi Sunak - strengthen the Bill so that every one of us can have control of our home, our money and our lives 💪🏾

Homeownership should mean freedom: it’s a British thing!! 🇬🇧

Thanks for all the support, however I’m getting requests regarding individual cases; I wish I could help but I’m not a lawyer.

If you need help, Leasehold Advisory Service can give a free 15 minute call. I know it’s not ideal, which is why we need proper systems change not tinkering

Well done Michael Gove

March 1996 ITV News Cook Report showed how Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities at that time did not implement #lease holdreform and bottled it at last stage.

History repeats itself yet again, why promise #uturn #servicecharge #lease holders #freeholders #groundrent #lease #lease extension #marriagevalue .

If pension funds etc need long-term index-linked investments to cover long-term commitments, why do they need ground rents when they could invest in rented housing (social or private)?

martinboyd Thomas 🇸🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇩🇪🇪🇺🤞🏻 Indeed they did @martynboydlkp and as you know I called them out then.

But as you also know Labour have said they will abolish Leasehold and Gove has singularly failed to do so.

Let’s now all work to make sure Labour keep their promise where the Tories failed to keep theirs.

A pity Melanie Leech made some factually questionable statements on radio 4 today

As the BPF knows modern ground rents are often investments held by off shore speculators not pension firms

There are no GRs on new build so how would this stop investment Henry Zeffman

Sadly, this did not approach @Poltairhomes for an explanation as we did back in May 2022, so the other half of the story is here: leaseholdknowledge.com/nothing-to-do-…
