@Dee54321Dee @George_Nixon97 They got back and accepted valuation about 8 months after I submitted it. Finally paid off loan in June (applied in August last year!)

Dipping my toe briefly back into building safety, and a story I've been covering for 3 years.

Cladding victims who bought their home through Help to Buy have been badly treated by the gov and it agencies.

Now, the Financial Ombudsman seems to agree. https://t.co/PGfBIWTHd3

@George_Nixon97 They have told me on the phone that any drop in value of more than 10% has to be reviewed so I would love to know if anyone has actually managed to pay back the loan at a lower value or if they are all stuck under review.

[Erin Bargate @erinbargate]

@George_Nixon97 Yes - I have been trying to pay off the loan for 6 months but my case is indefinitely “under review” by Homes England as I think they are trying to find a reason to not accept the lower cladding affected valuation.

[Erin Bargate @erinbargate]

@KathPinnock Thank you for raising this - I have the additional complication of a Help to Buy loan. Have sent an email detailing all the problems.

@textstar @AdmiralUK Same thing has happened to me today and when I tried to log in to MyAccount to check what is happening, the site appears to be down.

The cladding affects everyone in the UK! 1000s of homes affected, no fire cavity walls, unsafe wooden balconies & inadequate fire alarms.

.@LKPleasehold published an interesting article that mentions Gov need for a solid platform to report the scale of cladding scandal.

[Sam Towler @SamTowler]

Thank god for people like @Andrew_Adonis, @BishopStAlbans and @Fox_Claire fighting so passionately to protect us leaseholders against the unjust fees and to #EndOurCladdingScandal, it boggles the mind that the government could hear from these people and not take action.

@easyJet why call us to board if the plane isn't ready?! At least we had seats by the gate! EZY8575 from LGW to BCN

[Erin Bargate @erinbargate]

@easyJet we've been standing in this tunnel for nearly half an hour with no explanation for why we can't get on the plane 😡

[Erin Bargate @erinbargate]

Inspiring seeing you run in @IAAFWorldChamps today, @jennaChallie1 You were amazing! 🇿🇦

[Erin Bargate @erinbargate]

@LondonDLR Thanks, although it is still going off now.
