4 years after Grenfell, hundreds of thousands of people are still trapped in unsafe homes, like Point Red in Luton.
The Govt's #BuildingSafetyBill doesn't go far enough - innocent leaseholders shouldn't have to pay a penny towards remediation.

1/3 My partner who bought a leasehold property has just been hit by the news that his apartment we both share the costs of, is apparently only worth £33,500. A similar property went for auction yesterday for this price on our complex. All thanks to 🔥 cladding by @TaylorWimpey
Day 3 of seeing this bill. Still not sleeping. What to do? Cry? Laugh at the absurdity of 2 month deadline to pay? Pay some? Pay none? Pay all? Borrow from friends or family? Use all savings? It’s no longer home. It’s become a money pit.
@13sarahmurphy If only they put so much effort into the #CladdingScandal . Please help share our project to show how monumentally messed up the country's property market is! https://t.co/JYvrfuIopL
@JakeEllis@LeaseholdHosta1@RichardNewby3@RishiSunak So just had a bill for £32,000 to be paid by end of July. A third of it is for non essential works the MA has added to the remediations with our Board’s permission. I am sure MA will love the kickbacks. This is after some BSF funding. It is here and it’s not just a nightmare.
@PartheniaValue @LKP @NLC_2019@mhclg I’ve just been quoted £25k by my freeholder today to deviate the doubling ground rent and cap it at £300 PA. £25k !!!!!! I will get no benefit from this ... the new buyer will get all the benefit ... she has refused to contribute to costs ... so depressing.

Today I found out that my freeholder takes a commission for placing insurance on the building. 10% commission for taking out the same insurance with the same company at an increased premium of 40%. Easy £2k commission. E&J stealth tax on leaseholders #leaseholdscandal#lease
So the "charitable organisation" @optivohomes just emailed me back to say they can't offer buyback on my flammable flat. They may consider buying back SOME of my shares. Which, in essence, might leave me "owning" only 10% of my flat, but eligible for 100% of the remediation bill.
This morning at 6.20am some drunk kids smashed my flat window in #bristol by throwing stones at it from the rooftop of the opposite building. I managed to record them. Please share this tweet, and if anyone recognise them please DM me! I’m very upset! #redcliffe#bristolnews
Spent part of my Sunday planning escape routes with my husband, in case there’s a fire in our block of flats. We’ve decided to buy a rope and harnesses to lower our kids to a lower floor. @RobertJenrick how did you spend your weekend? #EndOurCladdingScandal
@RobertJenrick@andy4wm Rob, i just received my fire safety remediation bill which is £74k. Our issues are not covered by the BSF fund. Can you explain to me where am I supposed to find such money? Plus I pay for waking watch, £300 pm. On top of mortgage #BuildingSafetyCrisis#EndOurCladdingScandal
