Minister Robert Jenrick rightly praises his increase in rights under defective premises act from 6 -15 years However MHCLG has already formally told National Audit Office they accept in most cases the right does not work We are still a very long way from finding proportionate solutions

Ibex House E15 high-rise building in #Stratford is flooded top to bottom, communal areas and some flats and L&Q is NOT ANSWERING emergency lines. This is a disgrace! Absent, incompetent, good for nothing landlord, L&Q, again. Lyn Brown 🌹 Unmesh Desai AM Newham London 💙

Where are your emergency staff @fifletcher? Why has no one answered emergency lines at L&Q for the past 4 hours? Housing Ombudsman Inside Housing Lyn Brown 🌹 ITV News Daniel Hewitt

It's raining buckets. Inside a @networkhomesuk building. #HousingAssociations

Whilst water has been pouring through buildings by L&Q and @networkhomesuk in unwanted places, this one by Legacy Optivo (Customer Services) has no water whatsoever. 👇 Whichever #housingassociation you buy your new-build #leasehold or #sharedownership flat with, be ready for nightmares.

#EndOurNewBuildScandal It's not just cladding. It's not even just building safety. It's shoddy workmanship all around and housing associations selling a nightmare. Margaret Hodge - the latest new build in Barking Riverside, flooded top to bottom, for shoddily installed drainage

@HRRBFireSafety Stuart Hodkinson Andy Turner Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov Robert Jenrick Stephen Greenhalgh Perhaps Roy Wilsher could share his view on this report?

Some examples of L&Q's work in this piece - essential reading for anyone looking at flats with a heat network. Yet another #UKhousing experiment gone wrong, with dire consequences for residents

My nightmare with L&Q' heat network is featured in Inside Housing. Appalling response by L&Q. Apparently residents' suffering and trapping them in homes without hot water whilst exploiting them shouldn't take away from the fact they do charitable work for others.

Failing, expensive heat networks are another scandal connected with new build #leasehold homes in #UKhousing. L&Q's failures highlighted in two case studies in an investigation by Lucie Heath at Inside Housing Where is regulation of heat networks? #LeaseholdScandal

Excellent investigation by Inside Housing into heat networks - another scandal of new builds Expensive maintenance, unreliable heat supply and #leaseholders trapped with no choice of energy supplier, tariffs or repairs contractors Housing association L&Q in spotlight

Unaffordable and underperforming installations flogged to home buyers as “ecological”. #FuelPoverty

Spent a couple of days working on another building safety scandal story. Each time my jaw sinks further to the floor. The sheer powerlessness of the leaseholders coupled with the story's scale- across so many institutions and companies, with so much fecklessness and greed.
