@mtpennycook Millions of people lives are affected by the prolonged Commonhold and Leasehold Enfranchisement Reform. Go Faster to deliver the change people voted for! 🙏
@mtpennycook
@LordNumpty@GlennSeat@HarryScoffin There is a world of difference between commonhold and leasehold. One is freehold ownership and the other a leasehold tenancy. It’s not comparable.
Forfeiture needs to be abolished as a separate issue due to loss of equity.
@katesineed@GlennSeat@Helen_NW1 More Commonhold Novices giving very weak opinions.
Fact is building Commonhold flats and estates will vastly improve market and consumer confidence.

@NLC_2019@LiamThorpECHO@LivEchonews I’m happy to speak to Carol Allen at Somerford House about RTM or how to get hold of invoices.
Please put me in touch if interested.
@cattwil@NLC_2019@IanByrneMP Have leaseholders considered acquiring the Right to Manage for Somerford House.
I’m happy to speak to them if they qualify and about getting control of their money and choosing their own contractors with RTM.
Message me if interested.
@sebastianokelly@HomesEngland@mtpennycook 🚨Alarm bells rang for a relative viewing a pocky 2 room retirement studio where half the flats where empty, 50yr lease and run by First Port with hi service charges!!
It was cheap for a reasons!
@gamecounsel@eleanornoyce_@MetroUK I did meet one happy leaseholder who went into shared ownership. He said it all depends on the freeholder and their lease, rent and service charge levels.
We both agreed these are few and far between.
@arielkay_writes@FreeLeasehlders@NLC_2019@CommonholdNow Have you served a section 21 notice (summary of accounts) before section 22?
Also our MP took on our case and wrote a letter to the agent and he successfully got all the invoices delivered and stopped the dispute.
Hope that helps.

Blog post looks at whether leaseholders have to pay fire safety costs incurred before Building Safety Act. Issues discussed in Court of Appeal hearing and now waiting for judgment @OlympicHomes_AG@EOCS_Official@LKPleasehold https://t.co/5h83qpsoo4
@AlanJi73069669@Helen_NW1@CommonholdNow Atm Commonhold works with a majority vote for building decisions at an AGM.
As it does all over the world with CH/strata who are landlords wanting to protect their assets.
Not helpful when so called 'Leasehold Experts' come out with quotes like this.
"Under Commonhold, there is nowhere to hide. Lift failures, insurance hikes – it all lands on the owners" @myleasehold
Who's hiding now?

@AlanJi73069669@CommonholdNow Once the leaseholders buy the freehold and convert to commonhold, then a commonhold association is set up and all the CH owners are part of it.
I assume you mean rental tenants who remain tenants.

@evita273@CommonholdNow@NLC_2019@SpelthorneBC@LincolnJopp Leasehold is a dreadful way to live.
Our roof was taken off like yours; rain damaged & flooded flats.
Roof top s/d have been fully enclosed
No compensation/apology by freeholder/developer. It’s a race to the bottom = more profit + cheap roof flats
