@scmurphy While sellers of leasehold flats (especially in London) are having to lower their selling prices to the point that the service charge is having a major impact on affordability.
The Labour government has betrayed leaseholders.
But the flats market has collapsed because of the greed of freeholders, managing agents and others.
Don’t be a simp for the freeholders.
It undermines your brand and pro-homebuyer message.
This Telegraph piece is garbage.
@FreeLeasehlders Asking the government to keep its promise is not being a naysayer. Leaseholders are simply asking for real control over costs, management, transparency and the decisions affecting their homes. @HarryScoffin@StephenGalpin
@MattLismore 100%. Ending leasehold has to mean real control for all leaseholders. Existing leaseholders need meaningful power over costs, management, transparency and decisions affecting their homes.
@Telegraph Existing leaseholders know this problem is not theoretical. High service charges, complex lease structures and limited resident control can all affect saleability. We should know. Reform needs to address today’s leaseholders, not just future buyers.
They’re about to do this to #NewProvidenceWharf - balcony doors sealed shut, in height of summer. So when will they/won’t they start remediation nightmare is over, resident health and well being decimated. This nightmare never ends
Last week Waking Watch was imposed on us.
Today I asked WW to confirm our fire evacuation strategy. I was in our gated development and confirmed I am an owner/resident.
He refused saying "I don't know who you are so I can't tell you".

@nat77splat @weareballymore @RobertJenrick@team_greenhalgh This is disgraceful, I wonder just how far this awful company will go to make a buck? Maybe they could buy some care homes and evict everybody into the street? @ballymore @weareballymore1
@nlshow@ballymore @weareballymore As you know Nick they keep the service charges low in the glossy brochures and then at year 2 the exponential curve begins!
