Was such a good event So good to meet those fighting for national Leasehold reform. An issue which the government must sort with urgency. Everyone deserves a decent, safe and affordable place to call ā€˜HOME’.

78% of UK housing wealth is in the hands of baby boomers. We have a real problem that 9.4M big family homes are sitting there with a retired couple and 2+ empty rooms. Boomers don’t want to sell because they’ve paid off their home and it’s not expensive to keep it. If they

I was arguing the same at the Mail at the same time. Hyper capitalism of housing is a disaster. Patrick was also first to report the leasehold houses / ground rent scandal that took leasehold to national prominence in Nov 2016.

Improving construction skills & standards is a vital step in the journey towards building 1.5m new homes. Paired with the ban on new leasehold homes it is clear that The Labour Party are getting on with it when it comes to housing. We now just need clarity on when (not if) existing

We are thrilled to be leading this coalition of grassroots leaseholder and housing rights groups to intervene in the upcoming judicial review of the 2024 Act waged by Big Freeholders. Leaseholders have human rights, too! SHAC Home Owners Rights Network Hon Alderman Bob Smytherman Shula Rich

Big Freeholders are asking for something extraordinary from the High Court – to declare key provisions of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 incompatible with human rights law. Free Leaseholders joins with FPRA, BHDLA, SHAC and Home Owners Rights Network for justice!

.Harry Scoffin Free Leaseholders has built a seriously impressive coalition here to defend the interests of leaseholders in the High Court. This group contains tens of thousands of real leaseholders. Well done!

The Free Leaseholders team are taking the fight against Big Freeholders to the High Court. They're leading a coalition that has applied to oppose the vested interests using lawfare to stifle change. Grassroots leaseholders must have their voice heard ā¤µļø insidehousing.co.uk/news/exclusive…

OFFICIAL: HUMAN RIGHTS ARE FOR BIG FREEHOLDERS ONLY The High Court has rejected an application by the Free Leaseholders’ coalition to intervene in the judicial review brought by wealthy vested interests seeking to torpedo the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024. The Court

.Harry Scoffin assembled a very impressive coalition of grassroots campaigners to appear at the High Court today. Great to hear Michael Gove backed his bid. It is clear that Free Leaseholders & co are now the main group representing leaseholders’ interests going forward! šŸš€šŸš€šŸš€

You’d think with a The Labour Party gov we’d start to see things change when it comes to seeing the ā€˜little people’s’ voices heard. Well done Free Leaseholders & everyone for all your hard work. Let’s hope the government throw everything at this don’t give in. We’re counting on you.
