“Leaseholders have heard promises before. What they need now is certainty—a clear timetable for when these reforms will actually happen.”

NEETs, this is what awaits when you finally get a job and manage to get a foot on the first rung of the property ladder: financial servitude through leasehold.

Odd there is so little political uproar about a corrupt rentier scheme that has trapped and exploited a generation.

[Leasehold Hostage @endleaseholduk]

Escalating and uncontrollable service charges are trapping a generation of flat buyers. Who in their right mind will sign up to £8k p.a s-chg for 500 sq ft of space (1 bed) or 10k plus for 650 sq ft of space. (2 bed) Leaseholders at @ballymore High Point Village are trapped 👇🏼

[Anjana Menon @menonanj]

@ApsanaBegumMP What are you doing about ending leasehold? Support end leasehold

[Anjana Menon @menonanj]

Yup, the global forex market does $9.6 trillion worth of trading a day, because all currencies are just numbers.

[Jyoti @virgojyoti02]

It's just a number, LOL!!

Whenever I see any Interview clip of Smita Prakash, am always reminded of her interview with Kapil Sibal. Watch it if u like watching a Train Wreck in Slow Motion

[Anjana Menon @menonanj]

@1867ben @TowerHamletsJL @mk270 @martinboydlkp No, because I guess there is a judgement in place.

[Anjana Menon @menonanj]

@JoshFerme No, they will be saddled with service charges and ground rents and building repair cost for the rest of their lives.

[Anjana Menon @menonanj]

@mtpennycook the sooner leasehold is scrapped the faster the economy will revive. Flat purchases support a whole building industry. Why is this so hard to do? Ridiculous that building rights sit with freeholders and building repairs and cladding costs to leaseholders.

[Harry Scoffin @HarryScoffin]

@JoshFerme Nope. Buyers do not want to become financial slaves to freeholders and managing agents.

Leasehold is a scam and no price falls will entice most sane people to go for a flat.

[NLC - KATIE KENDRICK OBE - LEASEHOLD CAMPAIGNER @NLC_2019]

"This isn’t just a London problem — it’s a NATIONAL SCANDAL. Leasehold is now bringing the wider housing market to a standstill. We have been warning government for almost a decade that this would happen"

@Nigel_Farage what should we call a politician who gets 5 mln quid that he doesn’t disclose and then whines about how the press got hold of that info.

[Norma Cohen @NormaCohen3]

The purchase of a leasehold flat is NOT a property purchase. It’s buying a right to occupy subject to fees and charges which can be unlimited and which occupiers have very little ability to challenge.

[Free Leaseholders @FreeLeasehlders]

This will end very badly for Labour.

People are being looted in a leasehold
system that leaves them unable to sell their own homes.

Labour promised to end it.

Now, because of Big Money lobbying, it refuses to.

Voters will punish them for that.

India and national pride. My piece in @TOIOpinion today. #desi #india

[Harry Scoffin @HarryScoffin]

Service charges are killing flats and spreading negative equity.

Buyers boycotting leasehold as a result.

Yet the managing agents’ trade body refuses to talk about finding efficiencies, or about the commissions, related-party deals and percentage-based fees that inflate costs.

[Anjana Menon @menonanj]

@NormaCohen3 Because the system supports fleece holders

[Norma Cohen @NormaCohen3]

Serious Question: Why are leaseholders being asked to underwrite the cost of structural repairs to ANY building when they do not own a single brick in it? https://t.co/Xa0mTqtSZ2

"Average service charges have increased 43 per cent since 2020 for buildings with simple amenities such as lifts and cleaners, but developments with luxury perks, such as swimming pools and gyms, have seen their annual charges rise by 89 per cent"

This is for government to fix
