‘My 800k flat is now worthless and I’m scared it will fall down’

Matthew Pennycook MP Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities Great news but one block and one developer at a time, with this Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities approach it’ll take an eternity to resolve this crisis. Really need you to up the ante Matthew Pennycook MP!

This long overdue decision will give Union Park leaseholders cause for hope after years of uncertainty and anxiety.

They deserve credit for not giving up in the face of overwhelming odds but no leaseholder caught up in the building safety crisis should have to battle this hard.

Informed today that Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities has requested that Durkan, the developer of under 11m Union Park in East Greenwich, should cover the costs of building safety remediation works.

It is essential that this request is complied with urgently and enforced by government if necessary.

Finally got time to catch up with Mr Bates v the Post Office. Parallels with Cladding Crisis so obvious except those trapped and financially ruined by cladding are facing the many headed hydra of the building industry. #cladding

Ever had to pay something for literally NOTHING?
Ever been threatened with forfeiture of your home for not paying ground rent for which you receive NOTHING?
Ever been trapped for yrs because your millionaire freeholder didn't make safe their building?
Then you MUST fill this out!

The Post Office could have proactively investigated what had happened, identified and interviewed the people it wronged, and proposed full and fair compensation. It didn't

Can’t tell you how good it feels to see the highly flammable Kingspan Insulation insulation finally being ripped off our building!! Yet still annoyed that they are getting away with this Scott free 🤯

BBC News (UK) shows how poor our newly built homes can be.

Building regulations often aren't followed, and there's no recourse for 'homeowners' who are financially and emotionally abused fighting for the safe homes they thought they bought.

We've spent ~5 years and ~£350k so far!

2 years ago today we greeted Michael Gove in Parliament Square on his first day in his new job Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities.

Leaseholders remain TRAPPED in this feudal system. ZERO action #BrokenPromises

5 million leaseholders will not forget...

Fascinated to know which of the big building firms involved in #cladding scandal also used taxpayers money to build falling down schools bbc.co.uk/news/education…

Even more fascinated to see what action will be taken against them #cladding #SchoolSafety #BuildingSafetyCrisis

#journorequests Watchdog want to speak to people who are in disputes about their leasehold service fees. Have you been charged service fees this year which are inexplicably higher than last year? Are you paying for services which aren’t provided? Get in touch - [email protected]

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he'll live in debt for the rest of his life, while a man who was taught Latin at Eton and Classical History at Oxford becomes Minister For Fisheries.

Yesterday, I asked a quick question on crippling service charges for leaseholders. Surely the solution should be not more regulation, but more CONTROL for leaseholder home owners to hire and fire managing agents?

'I'm trapped with my flat due to cladding and face a 9.34% mortgage rate': Owner who can't sell risks massive payment hike. My Daily Mail Online property story today mol.im/a/12258623

We’ve just had a fire here at Hazelwood Tower, so I left the building via emergency exit, only to find fire exit completely blocked off and fire doors off hinges.

BUT THIS WASN’T GRENFELL!!! This was Lakanal House, Southwark, London in 2009! Lessons weren’t learned. Residents were ignored. Politicians broke promises. The Grenfell happened. What an absolute disgrace! State neglect. Corporate wrongdoing. Lack of care. Negligence. #Grenfell

Housing folks. Plumbers have discovered, as suspected, that the condensate pipe from my boiler was never connected to on out pipe. This was a new build, moved in October 2017. Passed defects, but what avenues do I have compensation wise from the developer?
