Cladding Casualty-Shared Ownership- own 30% of flat but 100% of cladding cost - Service Charge now double Mortgage! **Beware of Shared Ownership**

[Ben WK @Benwk]

OMG this is painfully tone deaf! Home ownership is a living nightmare for 3 million people right now because of @RobertJenrick's #claddingscandal . He can't be that stupid. #EndOurCladdingScandal

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

Happy Birthday @TheCanaryUK have you written about cladding crisis? £3 mill flats across the country unsellable with some people facing bills of over £100k and some shared owners facing costs higher than the equity they had in their flats (before the worth 0) @EOCS_Official

[Canary @TheCanaryUK]

5. “The canary in the coal mine”, meant ‘an early indicator of potential danger or failure’. If the caged canary was dead, the coal mine would be evacuated. But despite attempts by politicians and the corporate media to kill us off, this canary is still chirping as loudly as ever

[Cladding Victim  @LostInSW19]

🛑 You've trapped millions of leaseholders in unsafe buildings with dangerous cladding @ChrisPincher, making us pay to fix building defects

We don't want another 2 million renters to fall into the same trap!

We and @genrentuk want you to #EndOurCladdingScandal #CPC20

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

To lose your home overnight would be devastating but being in this cladding nightmare with probability you will ultimately lose your home is a slow torture. Do @mhclg appreciate toll this lack of real action takes + how destructive it is? #WorldMentalHealthDay #mycladdingscandal

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

@RobertJenrick 3 million people in this country are stuck in a home "ownership" nightmare. You really have more pressing things you should be focussing on. Some of us are really at our wits end #EndOurCladdingScandal

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

@NLC_2019 @Melmbr "built to poor standards". That's an understatement. Well done NLC, sounds promising. Let's see

[Matthew Offord @Offord4Hendon]

Disappointed not to secure a slot in @mhclg Questions in the @HouseofCommons today.

However, pleased that my #cladding petition has received supportive coverage in the Barnet Times - https://t.co/WQJEaaIIOU

[JY @WellThisisnotok]

@SJ4921 @mhclg I wish there's some form of mental health support for us leaseholders in the cladding situation. I just had a cry by myself in the bathroom and I can feel myself going crazy

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

It is the most draining exhausting experience. Hope you are feeling better and re-energised. #EndOurCladdingScandal
#WorldMentalHealthDay Many people have been in a hopeless state @mhclg

[Leeds Cladding Victim @LeedsVictim]

A low evening thinking of the week ahead & the inevitable cladding related struggles it will bring, but will have 2 find the energy 2 keep fighting 4 #EndOurCladdingScandal. @RobertJenrick @ChrisPincher @team_greenhalgh this is what life is like 4 me & so many others now. No joy.

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

@NorfolkHouseSe8 We have been waiting a year to have fire doors fixed

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

@willmartin88 @jahanara100 Thanks William, this so well sums up the sheer frustration of every aspect of this situation. Quite a few people I've told have reacted as though I am exaggerating or have got it wrong... even family

[Ewa McLean @EwaMcLean12]

I spent months volunteering for waking watch up to 12 hour shifts in our building to protect others from these colossal costs but the insurer’s decided we have to employ someone - so 3 years on we pay £11K a month despite having a fire alarm with extra sensors and sounders 🤦‍♀️

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

Shocking and sadly widespread

[jo @cladchester]

Our service charge has tripled to cover huge increase in insurance for the building. No notice and no end in sight. #EndOurCladdingScandal @EOCS_Official @ChrisPincher @RishiSunak @RobertJenrick @BorisJohnson

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

Absolutely. Surely this should have been the first thing to look at? But no little was done and costs were left to be passed to leasholders. #EndOurCladdingScandal #mycladdingscandal

[Leanne Kilheeney @leannekilheeney]

It’s my Birthday today and I’m fighting to #EndOurCladdingScandal On my 33rd Birthday will I be bankrupt? Will I have a home? Will my mental health have deteriorated? Will my building be another victim of tragedy? @RobertJenrick @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @EOCS_Official

[Inside Housing @insidehousing]

Leaseholders are being asked to pay up to £115,000 to fix dangerous buildings they had no hand in building. This cannot be right.

It's time to #EndOurCladdingScandal https://t.co/zFlSF2HGcE

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

Shared Ownership leaseholder facing costs of £45k + on a £70k mortgage property. Constant lottery of support and extreme slow pace are destroying people. On mind every hour of every day. @RobertJenrick @RishiSunak #EndOurCladdingScandal #mycladdingscandal

[Shared Ownership Resources @ResourcesShared]

Until housing associations are more transparent about long-term costs, including lease extension, it's simply not ok to claim shared owners won't be financially overstretched in the future.

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

@NHGLeaseholder ... marketing material titled "buyers guide" and "home owners guide" and talks about repairs and maintenance .... Funnily enough. No mention of cladding replacement.

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

@NHGLeaseholder ...wasn't even offered an incentive was told it was not optional

[SJ492 @SJ4921]

@NHGLeaseholder Also looked into selling a few years ago and was sent a list of surveyors. Mixed / misleading messaging but documentation states at one point you need to pick a surveyor from the list for application....
