Yes. The takehome for those getting on the propery ladder is to buy a property not a lease. #leaseholdscandal NLC - KATIE KENDRICK OBE - LEASEHOLD CAMPAIGNER Leasehold Knowledge

You’re buying 25% of the right to live in 100cu.m. of air, and uncontrolled rent for the other 75%, pay 100% of the costs & service charges, risk losing the lot if you struggle to pay, can’t sell without approval, can’t buy freehold. What’s not to like? bit.ly/3wUDUox

My pleasure Michael. I think affected leaseholders across the country would really appreciate you providing straightforward answers to each of the reasonable questions I've already put you and they will no doubt draw their own conclusions if you're not willing to do so here.

Our campaign, Commonhold Now, is gaining momentum! We've received hundreds of positive messages from leaseholders, former Ministers, ex-SpAds, and MPs from across the political spectrum. (1/8)

I wrote for CapX on how England and Wales’ quasi-feudal leasehold system has left millions of people trapped in property purgatory capx.co/ClJtO

Who wore it best?

#Leasehold tenure is headline #Tories reputation as the party of home ownership in tatters for maintaining the status quo. Well done lads! Commonhold Now theguardian.com/money/2023/may…

Important. We are heading for an odds and sods leasehold reform bill. Of course, our politicians have been trying to 'reform' leasehold since at least the 1880s. More sticking plasters won't do it! We need Commonhold Now for dignity, autonomy and control. theguardian.com/money/2023/may…

.Lee Rowley We don’t want more rights to challenge costs and freeloaders. Do you know about the case of 💚Canary Riverside? It took the leaseholders 3 years to get a decision on insurance overcharging. This is not a life. We want CONTROL! Commonhold Now on.ft.com/3lMORGc

A vote winner! An actual timeline. Canny investors and developers know the game is up and won't touch it. Market has already been affected by the negative press. Bye, bye leasehold tenure, aka Schrodinger's home ownership. Commonhold Now

Yip...this.

Rishi Sunak is wrong to say that sending your children to state school isn't aspirational. It's the government's job to make sure schools set kids up to succeed. With Labour, they will. We will end tax breaks for private schools to invest in excellent state education for all.

I've seen it all now. 🏘️ The blurb for this leasehold flat says, and I am not joking, 'enriched by the intrigue of a short 28-year lease'. #HousingCrisis #YIMBY #buildmorehomes zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/detai…

It is true . He was decisive...he decided he couldn't be arsed with detail even if it meant thousand would die. .. classic Conservatives theguardian.com/politics/2023/…

These would be the same well-resourced landlords who did nothing about cladding? I seem to recall it was Residential Freehold Association member Consenus Business Group who rushed off to the FTT to ensure it could dump all the Citiscape cladding costs on leaseholders.

The old ball and chain. Never get into bed with a leasehold property because you get chained to the freeholder too. #marriagevalue

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 Rachel Cunliffe for having me on the The New Statesman podcast to chat about all things leasehold.

Sky News exposes the myth that buying a leasehold makes you a property owner. All leaseholders own is the right to temporarily occupy space, subject to fees and charges levied by freeholders which cannot legally be challenged under almost any circumstances. Free Leaseholders !
