Housing associations leaseholders and shared ownership tenants trapped in #claddingscandal. Member of @UKCAG @NLC_2019. #EndOurCladdingScandal @EOCS_Official

[Housing Associations Cladding Action Group @HA_cladding]

Housing associations continue to use an excuse that they cannot share information about buildings' safety with #leaseholders for reasons of 'successful claim' and because residents would not understand the 'complexity' - which is patronising and insulting.

[Legacy Optivo (Customer Services) @optivohomes]

@SvitYarm 3/3 If we disclose this information the chances of a successful claim will be lost. These reports are technical and complex and shouldn’t be taken out of context. They form a single element of a comprehensive review of fire safety. Kind regards, Tom

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Spent a couple of days working on another building safety scandal story. Each time my jaw sinks further to the floor. The sheer powerlessness of the leaseholders coupled with the story's scale- across so many institutions and companies, with so much fecklessness and greed.

[Cladding Victim  @LostInSW19]

Some examples of @LQHomesMatter's work in this piece - essential reading for anyone looking at flats with a heat network.

Yet another #UKhousing experiment gone wrong, with dire consequences for residents

[Lucie Gutfreund @LucieGutfreund]

My nightmare with @LQHomesMatter' heat network is featured in @insidehousing.

Appalling response by L&Q. Apparently residents' suffering and trapping them in homes without hot water whilst exploiting them shouldn't take away from the fact they do charitable work for others.

Unaffordable and underperforming installations flogged to home buyers as “ecological”. #FuelPoverty

[Housing Associations Cladding Action Group @HA_cladding]

Excellent investigation by @insidehousing into heat networks - another scandal of new builds

Expensive maintenance, unreliable heat supply and #leaseholders trapped with no choice of energy supplier, tariffs or repairs contractors

Housing association @LQHomesMatter in spotlight

[Inside Housing @insidehousing]

Meet the residents being failed by heat networks https://t.co/6Cc1xThibs #ukhousing

[Homeowners of L&Q 💚 @HomeownersLQ]

Failing, expensive heat networks are another scandal connected with new build #leasehold homes in #UKhousing.

@LQHomesMatter's failures highlighted in two case studies in an investigation by @luciemheath at @insidehousing

Where is regulation of heat networks?

[Action for Fire Safety Justice @ActionFSJ]

Ballymore, Barratt, Bellway, Berkeley, Taylor Wimpey leaseholder? Or perhaps your developer has gone bust? Whichever it is, join us at a protest at #NineElms in #Battersea on Sat, August 21, 12pm! ⚠️📢🪧FB event: https://t.co/OHjraKHyJi ‼️ #BuildingSafetyCrisis #EnoughIsEnough

[Housing Associations Cladding Action Group @HA_cladding]

A fire trap home or a leaky home? Take your pick with @LQHomesMatter.

#newbuildhome #sharedownership #thatSOthing

[Lucie Gutfreund @LucieGutfreund]

....You decorate. You buy furniture. A year on, or even mere four months on, your home and your possessions get destroyed because @LQHomesMatter sold you a home in a poorly constructed building that leaks like a sieve. Then they don't answer your calls for help.

[Homeowners of L&Q 💚 @HomeownersLQ]

Two buildings built directly by @LQHomesMatter, in @barkingriver, both under 2 years old, flooded on Sunday night due to failure of gutters and balcony drainage system.

'We continue to hold concerns about the costs of historic remediation being passed onto leaseholders.'

Everyone bar @mhclg
shares our concern that costs are still being passed to the victims of this scandal.

@HRRBFireSafety @stuhodkinson @agdturner @mhclg @RobertJenrick @team_greenhalgh Perhaps @RoyWilsher could share his view on this report?

For transparency, Roy could also provide full detail on the recent Independent Expert Statement including publication of the initial instructions, meeting notes & emails between the four experts?

Over to you, Roy.

[Housing Associations Cladding Action Group @HA_cladding]

@soyagirlintown @optivohomes How low have we sunk in our expectations with new builds and housing associations. We are so tortured we become grateful for being able to flush a toilet.

@team_greenhalgh are you following this poo-show. It's not just building safety. Life in new build Tory homes is torture.

[Housing Associations Cladding Action Group @HA_cladding]

Whilst water has been pouring through buildings by @LQHomesMatter and @networkhomesuk in unwanted places, this one by @optivohomes has no water whatsoever. 👇

Whichever #housingassociation you buy your new-build #leasehold or #sharedownership flat with, be ready for nightmares.

[G&T May Be Required @soyagirlintown]

Hi Ross @optivohomes. Thanks to our illegal #cladding, our flats are very hot. You ever been to a hot country with poor sanitation? That acrid smell that hits you in the back of the throat when you enter a bathroom? That’s what ours smells like due to NO WATER for 16 hours.

[Housing Associations Cladding Action Group @HA_cladding]

@optivohomes Yes bottled water is the solution - especially under pandemic, to wash hands.

It's a disgrace. Have you fixed this yet?

#EndOurNewBuildScandal

It's not just cladding. It's not even just building safety.
It's shoddy workmanship all around and housing associations selling a nightmare.

@margarethodge - the latest new build in Barking Riverside, flooded top to bottom, for shoddily installed drainage

[Homeowners of L&Q 💚 @HomeownersLQ]

Let's talk about another property of @LQHomesMatter and @Bellwayhomes1 that got flooded on Sunday night from top to bottom due to badly installed gutters and drainage. This property is 4 months old, in @barkingriver. What a welcome to first-time home ownership.

[Housing Associations Cladding Action Group @HA_cladding]

It's raining buckets. Inside a @networkhomesuk building.

[Homeowners of L&Q 💚 @HomeownersLQ]

Where are your emergency staff @fifletcher?
Why has no one answered emergency lines at @LQHomesMatter for the past 4 hours?

@HousingOmbuds @insidehousing @lynbrownmp @itvnews @DanielHewittITV

[Homeowners of L&Q 💚 @HomeownersLQ]

Ibex House E15 high-rise building in #Stratford is flooded top to bottom, communal areas and some flats and @LQHomesMatter is NOT ANSWERING emergency lines. This is a disgrace!
Absent, incompetent, good for nothing landlord, L&Q, again.

@lynbrownmp @unmeshdesai @NewhamLondon

[martinboyd @martinboydlkp]

Minister @RobertJenrick rightly praises his increase in rights under defective premises act from 6 -15 years

However MHCLG has already formally told @NAOorguk they accept in most cases the right does not work

We are still a very long way from finding proportionate solutions
