@AnneJHeelan Having taken a £25,000 loss selling my flat (that I purchased as a naive first time buyer at 18) I am almost certain this is true. Raising my toddler in a fire trap was not part of my plan.
@StagecoachGM - the only bus company that forces you to sit in close contact with somebody during Covid because social distanced standing is apparently against the rules.
@RobertJenrick we wouldn’t need this assistance if the building regulations in this country were up to scratch.
13.2m, timber decking and balconies, combustible insulation. Unmortgageable. Why do you believe I am not equipped to pay for this than someone in a high rise?
#EOCS
Today I announced the biggest ever investment in building safety, with the Government paying for the removal of all unsafe cladding on high-rise residential buildings. (1/3)
The Government is treating cladding victims with contempt: “if you give them an inch, they’ll want a mile”. I don’t want a mile, I just want to sleep safely at night in the flat I saved years for to buy @RobertJenrick@RishiSunak . #EndOurCladdingScandal https://t.co/Yfvu59ZICD
@Vjb___ We’ve had 3 sales fall through in 12 months and also missed out on our chance of a house with a garden. Me, my fiancé and our now 16 months old are trapped in a 1 bed flat in Manchester. Disaster. Our mental health is absolutely shot 😭😭
#EndOurCladdingScandal So if #leaseholders can’t pay to upgrade #freeholders assets bc of excessive service charge demands, we can’t pay our mortgage, we get repossessed but guess what? Bank can’t sell the property bc it’s values =£0. Why aren’t #banks voicing their support 4 us?
This isn’t enough.
What about buildings like mine? 13.2m. Timber decking and balconies. Eligible for no funding, still unmortgageable, leaseholders still being forced to foot the bill. Being trapped in this flat isn’t what I had planned for my 1 year old daughter.
EXCLUSIVE in this weekend's Sunday Telegraph
A £5billion deal to strip cladding from hundreds of thousands of unsafe flats could be unveiled this week.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak held talks last week with Communities secretary Robert Jenrick about it. https://t.co/3MSeGQVna6
I just signed the petition demanding that @RobertJenrick and @RishiSunak end our national cladding scandal by making sure that home owners are not left to foot the bill to fix the unsafe buildings they live in. Will you sign too? https://t.co/9rPIEdsVgS via @38_degrees
@MENnewsdesk@niallgriffiths Thank you so much for reporting on this. Me, my fiancé and our 1 year old daughter have been trying to sell our 1 bed flat to move into a house for 12 months to no avail as a result of this scandal. It‘s hard to sleep at night.
My wife is a nurse administering the COVID vaccine. Imagine how she feels today with a bill of £4164 per quarter if BSF doesn’t help! You are relying on her...we are relying on you to #EndOurCladdingScandal@RobertJenrick @ChrisPincher @RishiSunak@BH_CAG @ThangamMP @SMcPartland
Thanks to @GranadaReports & @ElaineWITV for their coverage of our Mini Cladiators in Children’s Mental Health Week.
Tonight we have held a special event to highlight the risks to the mental health of our Mini Cladiators. Watch this space for more details. #EndOurCladdingScandal
‘Shouldn’t have to worry’ - We all know that really means the goal is to make payments ‘manageable’.
Whether you’re asking for £40,000 up front or a percentage increase to the service charge, the be-all and end-all here is that residents should not be responsible for paying!
@VodafoneUK there appears to be a pretty significant outrage right now, please can you advise when this will be fixed? My 11 month old listens to white noise for her naps and I can’t even do that 😭
