Housing Ombudsman The G15 SHAC Nevermind Housing Ombudsman Special Investigations ' , it's no longer necessary to look,as the stench around the G15 and their deeply conflicted legal representatives Devonshires solicitors, has been overpowering for years.They need to be broken up and flushed out of the sector.

Vivien Lash SNS Boy,if only people knew how fucking outraged these 'More Public Money for Social Housing' charitable Housing Associations were when they were legally classified as public bodies subject to the Human Rights Act and so now Equality Act in the performance of their public functions..

nobody All landlords need to be accountable, including the fake affordable Housing Associations.

'Our investigations show that landlords are not always as clear and transparent about charges as they could be,” Housing Ombudsman, Richard Blakeway..

' Many including L&Q aren't transparent about anything aa Blakeway knows .'

At tonight's Housing Scrutiny Committee, we will be looking at this latest stellar performance data claimed by social landlords in Tower Hamlets. Helpfully, we were told last month by someone with long sector experience that most of data is rubbish! 😯🧐 democracy.towerhamlets.gov.uk/ieListDocument…

I rang up for my 80+ neighbours a while back. Rang twice. Told the same thing. No call back. Clarion’s purported aim seems to be to just frustrate & wear people down. Although with Clarion it might just be endemic incompetence.

Housing Sector SHAC There are so many waiting for accessible homes. Totally unsuitable living standards. It's spoken about as if it was acceptable. It'snot.
Are Housing Associations a money making concern? Board Members paid highly.

SHAC too, is facing threats of multiple attempts to shut down and silence, all from a sector that promises transparency.

Great piece by Digital Housing on an important, barely reported trend. Govt sleight of hand obscures the relentless loss of social rented homes (up to 50% market rates).

'Affordable rent' can be anything up to 80% market rent. Currently, that's not affordable at all.…

SHAC L&Q George Howarth MP Michael Gove Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities L&Q your subsidiary hasn't been able to provide me with receipts for more than two years, has done nothing to deal with building safety defects, and is billing me for a waking watch despite this being outlawed. Gove is right.

Kasun Kalirai feels 'stuck', struggling to sell the flat he loves, that he would never have put on the market had it not been for the service charge of £4,300 per year - up more than four times since he moved in in 2016. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

👀 They can't sell their expensive shared ownership newbuilds so they offer 'cashback' instead of lowering prices.

❌ Developers & housing associations use the same tactics to keep prices high. Don't fall for it.
