Warmest congratulations to Katie Kendrick, Cath Williams and Joanne Darbyshire who have each received OBEs for services to housing and leaseholders. Thank you for all you've done through the National Leasehold Campaign to progress leasehold reform. www.gov.uk/government/p...

Under the Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA) and Government Remediation Contract, developers shoulder liability for the remediation of historic building safety defects. They can also use "trickle down" claims to suppliers ❗Leaseholders should not pay❗ #leasehold www.lexology.com/library/deta...

Every post on local facebook mentioning leasehold flats puts me off going anywhere near them.

Mr Cusack"a fire safety inspection team had visited the building& had worked with the building management company First Port the architects& the fire engineers before the notice was issued ❗"Essentially, this is down to cladding,"❗ #leasehold @eocs-official.bsky.social www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm trying not to turn the heating on': The pensioner leaseholders seeing service charges rise by up to 2,500% 'Leasehold is a grotesquely unfair system that continues to destroy people's lives until the bitter end' #LeaseholdScandal #Trapped www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/mortga...

Gateshead Leaseholders 'in limbo' over 18-year freehold wait. Taylor Wimpey says it entered into an agreement in 2006 to transfer them to a company called Regisport. THESE AGREEMENTS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL #LeaseholdScandal #Trapped search.app/6Eem1UiYjY3k...

💢 LEASEHOLD DEBATE 💢 Thank you Ruth Cadbury MP for raising this ongoing issue and for recognising our hard work representing leaseholders over the past 8 years. Listen from 11:00 am #leaseholdscandal #buildingsafety #servicecharges parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...

Unfortunately many leaseholders will still not be able to afford to buy their freehold or extend their lease because they have delayed switching on of the valuation element of LAFRA. Those leaseholders that do buy now will be exploited & ripped off in the process. #LeaseholdScandal

Leaseholder wins hundreds from the council for items she was wrongly billed for as part of her service charge The Bermondsey resident was incorrectly charged for lights in a random car park and maintenance to non-existent grounds #LeaseholdScandal southwarknews.co.uk/area/bermond...

Hi Lewis - National Leasehold Campaign co-founder here. We have over 32K members with large proportion from North East that was targeted by developers back in 2007. My guess is your constituency is also affected- happy to explain more if you need. #leaseholdscandal www.nationalleaseholdcampaign.org

Really pleased to speak in my debate about leasehold this morning; highlights include a block of flats where excrement comes down the lift, naming & shaming freeholders, fire safety challenges & much more. hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2025...

I’ve raised these issues in Parliament and continue to work closely with campaigners to bring an end to this exploitation. Enough is enough — we need urgent reform of estate management practices. If you’re affected, speak up and join the campaign to hold these companies to account.

🎥 I’m standing alongside residents on the Springhead Park estate in their fight against unfair treatment by FirstPort. Families here are being hit with soaring service charges, poor communication, and a lack of accountability.

An open letter by the cross-party committee to deputy prime minister and housing secretary Angela Rayner said the government should not be left “marking its own homework”. #leasehold #Grenfell @nlc-movement.bsky.social @eocs-official.bsky.social www.insidehousing.co.uk/news/mps-cal...

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team The Leasehold & Commonhold thread is constantly bombarded with spam totally unrelated to the topic. I've done everything I can think of to prevent it- can you help/advise? Many thanks

Benchmark for a claim is whether or not a building is fit for habitation-the BSA was introduced following Grenfell &necessarily addresses concerns about fire safety -thats not its sole focus Building safety risks encompass fire safety AND structural issues #leasehold www.lexology.com/library/deta...

Latest data from Quick Move Now suggests 32% of property sales fell through before completion, with 35% of failed sales attributed to difficulty securing a mortgage Ground rent not mentioned but @nlc-movement.bsky.social survey pointed the finger #leasehold www.propertyreporter.co.uk/why-did-prop...

62% of respondents had lost the sale of their property due to their buyer being unable to secure a mortgage. The majority of those (63%) were due to the onerous ground rent with service charges also indicated (35% of 62%). #leasehold www.leaseholdknowledge.com/nationwide-t...

EXISTING LEASEHOLDERS ARE BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY ESCALATING GROUND RENTS‼️ NLC survey shows Nationwide has turned down more mortgages because of concerns over ground rents than any other lender. @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social @cathnlc.bsky.social www.leaseholdknowledge.com/nationwide-t...

1/A group of leaseholders have won a legal battle to prove they were unlawfully deprived of the chance to take control of their own building when their landlord sold it to an offshore firm. #leasehold @nlc-movement.bsky.social @jodarbyshire.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Most housing associations do this. And most *also* add a 'management fee' on top. That's why shared owners in private blocks pay a higher service charge than their neighbours who are private leaseholders in the same block. It's yet another scandal. @nlc-movement.bsky.social @cathnlc.bsky.social

So glad to hear this. Long overdue. If the rest of the world can manage, I'm sure we can too. #leasehold #Britain The government should also address the out-of-control #insurance and safety costs for buildings. www.bbc.com/news/article...
