And here we have clear proof of how Katie & Co conflated our private estates matters with leasehold tenure. We are going to respond to this in detail. NLC's logic to dominate our campaign is that just because some leaseholders are affected, they have some kind of authority over us. This is NOT okay. This message by NLC if anything, reeks of insecurity. Even your own leaseholders have lost faith in you. You need to know your place and BACK OFF #StopTheRot
Unfortunately the likes of FirstPort never learn. For 2025 they are increasing their management, accounting and other fees by 6.5%, nearly double the rate of inflation.
Their excuse? All the extra work and costs they have. But their quality of service continues to decline.

Hi @NazShahBfd
When will you hold Premier Estates to the same level of scrutiny as @MattWestern_ is doing with FirstPort ?
Premier Estates manage a few sites across Bradford

FLEECEHOLD and SuDS-THE WATER ACT MR PENNYCOOK IS PUTTING TO THE BACK OF THE QUEUE KNOWN TO BE A BAD DECISION: Instead of adopting SuDS through the local authority, some hand over maintenance to "PRIVATE MANAGEMENT COMPANIES."
These companies may not account for the whole life cost (WLC) of SuDS, leading to "INCONSISTENT MAINTENANCE AND SUBPAR PERFORMANCE."
Ultimately, this leaves FRUSTRATED HOMEOWNERS STUCK WITH HIGH MANAGEMENT FEES or failing infrastructure. This is a recent article from ICE (Institute of Civil Engineers) as to how can flood management go hand in hand with building 1.5 Million Homes." Enter Schedule 3 of the Flood and Water Management Act (2010)
[Schedule 3] (https://t.co/b5FmXx5hVN) mandates that SuDS are included in all new developments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
This would require developers to fund and design SuDS in a way that ensures they’re adoptable by local authorities, not just functional at handover.
This shifts focus from short-term cost-saving to long-term resilience.
But 15 years on, Schedule 3 remains unimplemented.
Industry experts have been calling for this to change.
In 2022, "AN OPEN LETTER SENT TO THE PRIME MINISTER", urging the government not to delay any longer. This letter was signed by the current ICE President, [Professor Jim Hall]
(https://t.co/geCzjpXUBn), and Past President David Balmforth, among other flooding specialists."
“Implementation is essential to addressing growing surface water flood risk, tackling the sewage pollution problem and is complementary to biodiversity net gain (BNG) and nutrient neutrality,” the letter said.
"This 1.5M house building target is the perfect opportunity to implement Schedule 3."
Why are private homeowners expected to pay for substandard public infrastructure tied to their property? How is this fair? This is criminal. It's a crime designed to loot people and how do @UKLabour claim to work for working people if you are allowing this daylight robbery? You need to #StopTheRotAdoptTheLot. RTM will not resolve this issue. Only universal adoption will.

£16k a year unavoidable service charge. We have no amenities, parks or bins just a very unkept piece of grass. Absolutely appalling. @mtpennycook@KeepmoatHomes@HorNet_Group
Do you live on an unadopted estate locally and face rip off management fees?
I want to hear from you. 🫵
This week I continued my campaign for action against the growing fleecehold scandal.

We asked the Managing Director of FirstPort three times whether he is prepared to apologise for the problems their residents have raised in recent years.
Watch his response ⬇️
Yes, how about adopting public infrastructure properly and actually using our council tax for what it’s meant for?
Instead, developers have been allowed to push out boxy homes while trapping residents in fleecehold schemes, handing power to private equity firms who charge admin fees for doing absolutely nothing.
These aren’t luxury gated developments they’re public spaces disguised as private land and councils have just walked away from responsibility.
It’s a scandal. Governments, councils and developers all enabled this mess. Now fix it.
