@DrKristieLeong Cacao and just added maca powder in too, the maca powder tastes delicious and keeps you feeling really full unless it's my imagination.
@SharedOwnersNet@insidehousing@natfednews@AngelaRayner Shared O is a scandal, the tiny percentage of those that staircase to full ownership. If you've been stuck in a shared ownership for over 10 years, you should be advised by your HO here is a lowered cost to complete ownership, subsided by them who have taken maximum charges.
@endleaseholduk Why has he been retained? it is not on evidence based results is it. So why, what is the relationship Matt Pennycook has with key parties? There is something there, Matt P is the chosen one because?
@AlanBuckman@SteveReedMP yes, slow legislation is going to ruin many people's finances & stall the whole market, whilst ministers fudge & trot out the platitudes & try to appease the network of those who feel entitled to milk the system until the last drop.
@LibDemPeers yes, sold as a lifeline, like all rip off schemes, it's attractive & only option for so many so you take it & then reality kicks in 5 years, 10 years, rising bills, treated like a home owner when it suits by Housing Associations, but continually rising costs & short leases.
@SharedOwnersNet Useless con artists Housing Association nor Conveyancer warned me about short lease on SO property and the reality that the HA would put up charges arbitrarily. Of course the HA doesn't want to know when you've got a problem with antisocial behaviour. It's ALL take and glossy ads
@KirstieMAllsopp@wesstreeting@BBCr4today Like everything in the world, things swing in one direction but eventually too far & then becomes unsustainable, programmes like BBC's Homes Under the Hammer have played large part in normalising being a landlord & building their f word portfolios, pushing the market ever higher.
@Tush27J Greed is 100% correct. Morally bankrupt. the shareholders must be kept happy. push push push, no sense of wider society and the rupturing of it which will ultimately mean complete downfall of it, but as long as it isn't in their lifetime they cgaf.
@GlennSeat Shameful. because its a shared decision by a board to conduct their massive 100% only interest in profit profit & more profit, no individual in this company would feel any shame for this exploitation. Only doing business - your business is disgusting.
@FreeLeasehlders There are so many exploitative aspects to leasehold, marriage value = fleecehold misery. Rich lobbyists hide in the shadows like all parasitic worms never bothered by the misery they yield, but social media can shine the light and keep the pressure on @mtpennycook
@carlgroves10@pollytoynbee@HarryScoffin@phillipinman The powers that be are too slow to react to public's view of things in this digital age, the arrogance of those in traditional powerful authority roles still thinking they can set the tone & pace. The whole housing market will tank as chatter on leasehold unfairness continues.
@LovellPropguru yep, journalists are cherry picking which people to air views of around the leasehold/flat issues. No prizes for guessing whose interests they are supporting, those that want to milk the system for all it's worth, powerful tentacles leaching all over the issue.
@katiejnwilliams please broaden scope of your article. the whole leasehold system is broken which is acknowledged by gov, but as usual powerful orgs are lobbying to stop it going through for years so they can milk it for all it's worth.
@BySamMeadows yep, sold a false hope of stability and opportunity to move on up, it's been known for many years there is a small percentage who staircase. The "charitable" Housing Associations make it as difficult and costly as they can for you to get their support, & they keep expanding.
@helenakelly__ On this issue as someone who "owns" one property that is being screwed over by leasehold, not sure I want to hear from people fronting TV shows, who have done their bit to normalise anyone that can, holding portfolios of flats.
@helenakelly__ great that you are shedding light on issue, but why only young homeowners? people in their 30's & 40's took the shared ownership option cos it was the only affordable option & was seen as better than private renting but are victims of the ridiculous falsehood of "ownership"
