I'm looking for case studies of those with service charges on an average flat of more than £5,000 a year (not cladding related). Please send details to [email protected] #journorequest

❗Shared owners living in a London block of flats have been told they must pay an extra £5,000 a year for their service charge due to flammable cladding.

💸 The monthly charge for a shared ownership flat 'has trebled from £205 to £614.29'

🚨 This is unsustainable @MichaelGove

Only £2.1bn of the £9.1bn in government grants to fix blocks with fire risks have been spent. The first fund opened 5 years ago

This is the scale of the building safety scandal, which seems to have been all but forgotten

Also: I did a deep dive into the govt's building safety data after they changed how they reported it. About 8,500 unsafe buildings could be missing from the latest data

Fozia Malik owns her home but has been homeless for over 3 years - because her building is too dangerous to live in. So she lives in a tiny room in a student hostel where she washes her clothes in a bucket thetimes.co.uk/article/forced…

Well this took me a few months to investigate: since Grenfell, 15,210 residents have been forced to move out of dangerous flats across Britain, analysis of 7 years’ local media reports found thetimes.co.uk/article/forced…

❗'Since the Grenfell Fire of 2017 more than 15,000 residents have been forced to leave homes due to fire or fire safety defects. And evacuations are on the rise'

❌ @MichaelGove Lee Rowley when will this nightmare end❓

The Renters’ Reform Bill no longer has the support of the Renters’ Reform Coalition - a group including Shelter, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Generation Rent because it…doesn’t actually give a date for the ban on Section 21 evictions which is…what it was designed to do

A £250 cap on ground rents is a win.

It means leaseholders can sell up and get on with their lives.

20 years to peppercorn is not ideal, but if The Labour Party Angela Rayner 🌹 Matthew Pennycook MP wish to make a counter-offer, leaseholders and journos will be all ears. insidehousing.co.uk/news/continuat…

Your ‘solutions’ are BROKEN Michael Gove Lee Rowley #EndOurCladdingScandal

A day I never thought I’d see - the beginning of the end. PAS9980 assessments underway, with residents arranging & PAYING FOR cordons for contractors to access the site, to avoid further delay. This is because Rendall & Rittner/E&M could not arrange a piss up in a brewery.

Thank you Mike Amesbury MP for meeting with us tonight to discuss the ongoing building safety crisis. 🙏

Government must do more to protect all leaseholders, make all buildings safe and #EndOurCladdingScandal

❌ No one is really holding developers to account, so they’re essentially taking as long as they want.

❌ There has been a lot of warm rhetoric but the reality on the ground is that leaseholders are still paying the price.

Amazing work by the small handful of volunteers at End Our Cladding Scandal, who continue to work for free, day in and day out, to hold corporate giants & Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities to account. Pls give this a read & if you're in a Crest Nicholson defective building, you know what to do.

🗨️ “I can’t sell because there isn’t an EWS1 form, and service charges are so high it puts buyers off'

Lee Rowley yet *more* evidence that innocent leaseholders continue to pay the price for the building safety crisis 👇

The government Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities said they would use the Leasehold & Freehold Reform Bill to extend the measures in the Building Safety Act to 'ensure it operates as intended.'

Here are the steps they can take 👇

Over to you, Michael Gove.

🤔 Will Lee Rowley's statement acknowledge the fact that, almost 7 years after Grenfell, an unacceptable number of innocent leaseholders are STILL trapped in the building safety crisis and STILL paying for the wrongdoing of others?

Or will it just be more warm words?
