@BBCPM on agents....developers have to do this, especially if off0lan!

@BBCr4today great to hear endometriosis being so well covered. I was told years ago by a consultant.....'live with it'! Asked for a hysterectomy and denied. On tablets to reduce periods instead and now have osteoporosis partly as a result.

[UK House of Commons Committees @HoCcommitteesUK]

The Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee surveyed 7,358 homeowners on the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill and the findings are stark.

Our full report will be published tomorrow.

Secret lobbyists behind pro-leasehold campaign https://t.co/35bexxko7d they literally own the ground beneath your feet and want to hang on to it! You just get the right to live in 100cu.m of air for a finite time.

[katefaulkner OBE @katefaulkner]

@Victoria_Spratt Agreed, it would be am excellent change.

[Paul Johnson @PJTheEconomist]

"You can’t keep responding to supply shocks by subsidising prices. That way lies ruin. The reason that people are feeling a cost of living crisis is that the economy and their living standards have failed to grow for so long".

Why are today’s young adults struggling with their mental health? In episode 4 of The Gen Z Story @RestIsPolitics we look at the structural issues which have, understandably, placed a heavy burden on 16-29 year olds - includes a fascinating interview with Shuab Gamote who has been travelling Britain to research his own generation

P2 Andy from Leaders Romans Group explained the new and essential role of agents and Adam Lawrence walked through his property strategies moving forward so landlords can survive in the future. Absolutely top notch panel - all free thanks to the support of our fantastic exhibitors

[katefaulkner OBE @katefaulkner]

P1 For those that didnt make it @LandlordInShow in Birmingham, please join us at London on 8th July. This panel of experts was awesome. @EddieHughes4WN explained how we deal with short term politics, Janet - from Birmingham Council inspired every landlord in the room to stay. P2

If Davis Smith is worried, we all should be. He is the best & most experienced UK economist we have & one of only a few that understands our housing market. For me we dont just have a cost of living crisis, but a cost of doing business crisis due mostly to external pressures.

The UK economy will struggle if the builders don’t start building https://t.co/ZCOknBURDd

@AsdaServiceTeam is there a problem with your online order system?

[katefaulkner OBE @katefaulkner]

@LNER All good we r on our way! Not sure the at seat service is working though, we are all a bit thirsty 😀

[katefaulkner OBE @katefaulkner]

@LNER we were told to get on a train at KX for the 19.08 to Grantham....but we arent seeing anyone else on the train. We r on platform 1....please advice. Have got a fractured hand in a cast so cant get off!

[katefaulkner OBE @katefaulkner]

@PJTheEconomist @DuncanStott Well rents are naturally capped by wages, but they are constantly in the media as sky rocketing and extortionate which is statistically incorrect and the reporting of house price averages is stopping FTBs from even trying to get on the ladder!

[katefaulkner OBE @katefaulkner]

Perhaps some facts would be useful....rents rise in line with wages - often less than inflation. Housing benefit for those who should be in social housing govt/LAs failed to deliver, doesnt go into LL pockets - they buy, maintain and improve the property (mostly) and pay tax.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Rent controls. Now.

[katefaulkner OBE @katefaulkner]

@ZackPolanski If rents are out of control, why is the cost of rent in most English regions less than 30%? Int the real problem the 1mn HH renting in PRS that govts & LAs failed to build a social home they are eligible for? If rent controls are such a good idea, why have they failed in Scotland

[katefaulkner OBE @katefaulkner]

Such sad news - Clive was a true gentleman with a beautiful personality. Best wishes to friends and family x

[The Negotiator @TheNeg]

Property industry loses one of its stars. With great sadness we report that Clive Emson MBE, property auctioneer and star of Homes under the Hammer has died #propertynews #RIP #obituaries https://t.co/RVgDkQVaon

[Vicky Spratt @Victoria_Spratt]

Very good set of stats on social housing here

[katefaulkner OBE @katefaulkner]

@ashridgepf @LNER You know me....keep going!!!

[katefaulkner OBE @katefaulkner]

@LNER just to say what lovely service I have had from staff today at Grantham station & ticket chap on the 7.23 to KX. Both super cheery. I have 1 arm in a cast, tickets all printed for me and a better seat reservation and the cheeriest chap on the train. Please thank them x
