@NLC_2019 @hanrmiller I’m not surprised Katie. Some management charges at blocks of flat are off the scale & make them very difficult to sell. Add the fact that many also have cladding issues thousands of people are locked in a trap they once called home. #Property #PropertyManagement

[The Shared Owners' Network @SharedOwnersNet]

🆕 The Lords voted to add a statutory review of shared ownership to the Social Housing Bill.

As expected, @mtpennycook has now tabled a Government amendment to remove it.

Another missed opportunity to listen to shared owners. ❌

@AngelaRayner What about leaseholders who are threatened with forfeiture every single day ?

[NLC - KATIE KENDRICK OBE - LEASEHOLD CAMPAIGNER @NLC_2019]

🚨New findings from @LEASEonline Shared Ownership Insight Report reveal widespread concerns over rising service charges, repair disputes, building safety costs, lease extensions and difficulties selling homes.

Shared owners find themselves carrying many of the responsibilities of homeownership while having limited control over the decisions that affect their homes and finances.

@JamesCleverly Unless you scrap leasehold nothing will change. Stop skirting around the real issue of fleeceholders and damaging services charges

Never mind you being deeply embarrassed @DesmondSwayne Leaseholders are deeply embarrassed that you can stand up in the house and defend the indefensible - shame on you !

We are glad that retirement sector are NOT EXEMPT.
