@ukcag@10DowningStreet Don't buy a leasehold house either. Until enfranchisement calculation rates are sorted, the cost to purchase your freehold is extortionate.
Even Zoopla now concedes leasehold flats in England and Wales are liabilities and massively underperform houses.
We have a crisis, yet government is asleep.
BIG MISTAKE dropping Law Commission enfranchisement and RTM reforms that would slash service charges and heal market.
Hi @mtpennycook can you please explain why rather than ending the leasehold nightmare for his individual and countless like them, you’re abandoning our manifesto pledge to end leasehold entirely, this parliament?
It’s quite clear what our promise was - it’s time you delivered.
@NormaCohen3 Especially when the salesperson says you can buy your freehold at anytime for 10x ground rent. Then don't tell you that it will in fact be sold on to a third party and you'll then have to pay 50x ground rent to buy it.
@AngelaRayner@molly_hartill And leaseholders who pay ALL the bills but don’t own a brick will wait 38 years to get their proper rights. Many of us will never see the day. You lied to us. @mtpennycook & @SteveReedMP now treat us with contempt. What will you do for us? @HarryScoffin
