🔴 BUYBACKS 🖋️ @lkpleasehold.bsky.social "given the complexity and unbalanced nature of shared ownership (...) an obligatory buy-back scheme should be imposed on all shared ownership providers" We agree. Funding SO buybacks should be a govt priority. www.leaseholdknowledge.com/leaseholders...

Shared ownership should be banned - it trapped me and I lost £12k My message to anyone thinking about shared ownership is simple: 🗣 DON'T DO IT ‼️ @sharedownersnet.bsky.social #SharedOwnership #NotShared #NotOwned @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...

Sat on the London Tube and these fake advertisements are everywhere. If they spent as much money on ensuring the scheme worked than what they do recruiting and enticing innocent future victims the floored scheme may stand a better chance of helping the people it says it can help.
