🗨️ "I am trapped in a shared-ownership flat, which is proving impossible to sell because the fire safety engineer who surveyed the block is accused of forging fire safety certificates (...) This is my first home, but it’s beginning to seem like a prison"

Thought I will provide updates on my lease extension I am currently going through for the benefit of other leaseholders in similar situation. #leasehold
I have had 2 sales not go through on £195,000 flat in Teesside because the ground rent is £390 a year classing it as an AST

"According to the government’s own data, the average service charges leaseholders pay is now £3,634."
Mine is now £6k pa @RFAssociation and your "professional freeholder" member E&M has been exclusively focused on frustrating building safety remediation for the last 7 years.
The new government must seize the golden opportunity to deliver for leaseholders

I’ll never understand how, to buy a shared ownership property your income has to be below a set amount and you have to pass affordability checks.
But once in, they can ask for an extra £1,000 a month in service charges.
Shared ownership is not affordable housing and is a con.

Outrageous payments for little to no service?
But if you refuse to pay you face forfeiture!
Just one piece of the failing leasehold legislation.
Thank you to @anoosh_c and @RMCunliffe for having me on the @NewStatesman podcast to chat about all things leasehold.

This is why leasehold reform matters - too many residents in Walthamstow don’t have any control over the charges they face except to try to sell up. If you are local resident affected by these issues and want more details on work am doing please do get in touch.

Absolute WTAFery!!!
Rendall & Rittner are refusing to release a “management pack” for my building before I’ve cleared my arrears (42k facade remediation costs) meaning I’m unable to proceed with trying to sell my flat.
Is this legal ? #cladding

On Wednesday the right to strike is being voted on in the House of Lords, if it fails Public Sector employee's will be banned from striking.
If you support the right to strike like I do give this a RT
We have had this right for 170 years they cannot take it away.

"Watch out for freeholders’ making hurried offers to extend your lease for a lump sum, it could be a last-ditch bid to earn cash before the reforms kill off their income stream" says @sebastianokelly
🚨 Some housing associations are doing exactly that.
Sensible advice in The Sun: don't do anything about your lease extension until the Bill is passed. Or isn't. thesun.co.uk/money/24924195/…

I still know so many people who still have unaffordable unknown costs hanging over them and/or waiting for remedial works to be done.
So many people still unable to move on with their lives because of years of incompetence on the part of building owners, developers and govt.
We urgently need our lives back and it's high time for a truly comprehensive solution.
✅ The good news is that the solutions are straightforward if there is the political will to end this crisis.
✅ Our 5 point plan sets out our key asks and the steps to deliver them.

For @CNN, I wrote about the people caught in the middle of two crises: cladding and the cost of living. Five years on from Grenfell, thousands remain trapped in unsafe homes, facing bills they can't afford for building work that hasn't started.
