Trapped Shared Owners

❌Shared owners in the #claddingscandal ❌London ✖️Developer refusing to remediate the building they built - Durkan

[Trapped Shared Owners @cladding_crisis]

@isharuthd please can you tell us why the flammable cladding at Belvedere court has not been replaced after waiting for 3 years yet and why there is no current timeline for it to be resolved?

[Trapped Shared Owners @cladding_crisis]

@isharuthd @ISHA_London Is there an approximate timeline you have to remedy the under 18m buildings? We are still waiting for the full survey to be completed. So far we have cladding, missing fire breaks and timber balconies on the list and possibly the metal structure that needs to be fire rated

[Trapped Shared Owners @cladding_crisis]

@isharuthd @ISHA_London Thanks Ruth. After speaking to my bank they have said they will consider applications from landlord certificates but it’s not a given and is on a case by case basis. So we may go through all of the fees to find out we cannot actually sell. Our ISHA building is still not fire safe

Does City Hall also monitor what happens to shared owners trapped in the building safety crisis?

How many lost their homes?

How many were forced into a distressed sale?

Did the @MayorofLondon ask social landlords to alter their buyback policies?

@isharuthd @ISHA_London Do you have a direct email where we can contact you?

[Trapped Shared Owners @cladding_crisis]

@isharuthd @ISHA_London Please can you now remedy the ones under 18m? We have been stuck for years with rising rents for ISHA in shared ownership properties not being able to sell or staircase

Leaseholders can be left waiting no longer. Labour must rip up the system – LabourList https://t.co/s3STOR0PSg

I’m an ‘unqualified leaseholder’ and have written about my situation to @PBottomleyMP twice as I am in his constituency. Sadly no reply.

[Trapped Shared Owners @cladding_crisis]

@RishiSunak @AlisonHammond But you still have not solved our cladding scandal with leaseholders still stuck and property developers such as ours @DurkanUK not remediating our unsafe building #endourcladdingscandal

[Trapped Shared Owners @cladding_crisis]

@EOCS_Official @insidehousing @luhc what are you going to do about this??

[End Our Cladding Scandal @EOCS_Official]

In March @insidehousing reported the results of a survey we undertook showing only 21.8% of leaseholders in dangerous blocks had seen remediation work start. 78.8% couldn't remortgage.

Most remain trapped in a #CostOfLivingCrisis & #BuildingSafetyCrisis

❌ Unqualified leaseholder?

🏡 Unable to sell or re-mortgage

🏗 Still waiting for work to start?

📰 Local media can be effective, especially if there are #LocalElections2023 coming up in your area. Let them know the issues you are experiencing.

@EOCS_Official @michaelgove @Keir_Starmer Still trapped. Housing association dragging their feet, developer not taking responsibility, developer (Durkan) not on the governments list of developers, years away from work even starting as the HA are having to take legal action. Approx 2 years worth of remediation works

[End Our Cladding Scandal @EOCS_Official]

The much-heralded #BuildingSafetyAct has so far not helped most leaseholders move on with their lives.

Many have been waiting for remediation for over 5 years

We are still trapped.
We won't forgive.
We won't forget.

⏳ When will leaseholders whose developers have signed contracts hear when remediation work will start on their buildings? 

Until that happens, nothing has changed.

A shocking story of residents in a tower block in Salford.

The cladding was removed 5 years ago, but has still not being replaced.

One resident says "I`ve never been so down in my life living in these flats.

@luhc Please add @DurkanUK to this list. They still haven’t offered to remediate our building 3 years on

[End Our Cladding Scandal @EOCS_Official]

Leaseholders in this block are paying mortgages, service charges and management fees on flats they can’t live in, let out or sell

Some are losing up to £20k a year in costs and lost rental income

All because they bought a flat, which was originally certified with no issues

[Trapped Shared Owners @cladding_crisis]

@luhc @ballymore Please can you add Durkan to this list of developers, they are not on any of the lists as of yet

[Trapped Shared Owners @cladding_crisis]

@luhc @DurkanUK 3 years on from it being assessed as unsafe

[Trapped Shared Owners @cladding_crisis]

@luhc Still waiting for @DurkanUK to agree to remediate our building
