''Flats often come with some off putting factors. (...) This is particularly the case due to cladding issues" "Service charges are also reaching terrifying levels in some apartment blocks across major cities." #BuildingSafetyCrisis www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/mortga...

🆕 The House of Commons library has published a briefing on cladding remediation on blocks of flats under 11 metres. It includes information on what leaseholders can do if they have concerns. 🔗 commonslibrary.parliament.uk/remediating-...

Welcome to @samanthadixonmp.bsky.social, the new Minister for Building Safety, Fire & Democracy. Government must act to end the building safety crisis and protect all leaseholders. We look forward to meeting you soon. www.gov.uk/government/m...

99 months since we lost 72 loved ones in the Grenfell fire. Still no justice. As the Government begins to demolish the Tower, please keep Grenfell in your hearts. We will never forget — and we will not stop until justice is done.

❗Residents in a 35-storey building told "they have six months to get out of their homes because of “additional issues” that have been discovered relating to fire safety in the block." "The building was only completed in 2022." #BuildingSafetyCrisis insidecroydon.com/2025/09/12/t...

🗨️ @matthewpennycookmp.bsky.social "I know from my own efforts to support shared owners in my constituency of Greenwich and Woolwich that those affected by the building safety crisis often face unaffordable costs, often with no viable exit route other than a distressed sale." #SharedOwnership

🔴 RESHUFFLE Our statement 👇 #BuildingSafetyCrisis #EndOurCladdingScandal

Labour's second (junior) Minister for Building Safety, @alexjjnorris.bsky.social, has been reshuffled. The politics continues. The lives of ordinary people remain an afterthought.

A Select Committee is due to examine the work of the Building Safety Regulator. MPs will review "balancing robust safety measures with the need to build more housing." Let's hope they won't forget leaseholders waiting for their homes to be made safe. committees.parliament.uk/event/24913/...

🚨🚨 Today is your last chance to tell the Committee what you think about the #SharedOwnership scheme ⬇️⬇️⬇️

"The block is surrounded by scaffolding because of cladding remediation work. (...) it's a problem to open the windows" 🗨️ "The summers are going to get longer and hotter. Families can't live the way we're living." www.bbc.com/news/article...

🔴 BUYBACKS More support from the House of Lords ✅ Baroness Thornhill asked the Government to use some of their new 'Social and Affordable Homes Programme' budget to fund buybacks. #SharedOwnership #HousingCrisis Link to Minister's response in next post.

🖋️ "I was a war reporter. But shared ownership put me in therapy." "Most of my anxiety comes not from spending decades working in war and disaster zones as a journalist, but from my shared ownership flat." #SharedOwnership #UKhousing inews.co.uk/opinion/war-...

📉 Want to remortgage? Good luck. Our flat was valued £60k below what we paid in 2017. Lenders demand impossible guarantees from freeholders who ignore all requests, leaving us financially trapped despite government claims that remortgaging is "now possible."

The fire consultants who got the height of the building wrong refuse to amend their report, so we need a NEW fire engineer, NEW strategy, and NEW delays. Every month of this farce costs us and our neighbours £19k+ in insurance alone. Six years in, and they can't even measure a building correctly.

8 years after the Grenfell tragedy, victims continue to pay for the building safety crisis @alexjjnorris.bsky.social 👇

🗨️ " I can't afford to live here and I can't sell" ❗ Some lenders are still not willing to offer mortgages to buyers, even where a remediation plan is in place. ❗ @alexjjnorris.bsky.social what are you going to do to fix this crisis? www.bbc.com/news/article...

This Government has postponed the Building Safety Levy for a year. Now they are bailing out developers who have been dragging their feet on building safety remediation. I guess this is what they mean when they say 'we are backing the builders'.

❌ "Much of the money spent came from loans from the taxpayer to the housebuilding industry which were meant to be repaid rapidly, but it has emerged today that Rayner’s department is close to permitting Avant to postpone repayments." www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

"The flat market has been stagnant over the past ten years, driven largely by the cladding scandal that followed the Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017 (...). Help to Buy flats have fared particularly badly." www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

"The increased provision comes after a fresh wave of intrusive surveys uncovered widespread issues with cavity barriers hidden behind brickwork and render. The full scale of the problems had not been picked up in earlier surface-level checks." www.constructionenquirer.com/2025/07/30/e...

New Providence Wharf is a luxury block in Canary Wharf with a gym, pool and valets. It has also set on fire three times in the last four years. I found out what's been going on for @londonermag.bsky.social www.the-londoner.co.uk/new-providen...

🧐 The @mayoroflondon.bsky.social set up a "Joint Remediation Partnership Board" with City Hall, Govt, councils, London Fire Brigade & regulatory bodies "to lead vital work to end London’s building cladding crisis" ❗ Leaseholders and residents must be represented. www.london.gov.uk/programmes-s...

⚖️ "The ruling could have far-reaching implications for who bears the costs of building safety-related costs in the future, with judges ruling that parts of the Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA) can be applied retrospectively, favouring leaseholders and residents." 👇 www.mylondon.news/news/south-l...

A year of non-action on building safety from Labour. Shameful.

We're a week away from the 8th anniversary of learning we have ACM cladding on our building, Alex. It's class 3 ACM cladding with a PE core - same as Grenfell's. Still no FRAEW, scope of works or remediation plan. How about focusing on the job you were appointed to do?

No highlights so far with an unremediated building. 4 years and counting #EndOurCladdingScandal #AbolishLeasehold

📢 Leaseholders Has a year of Labour being in power made any difference to your life? Have there been any highlights? (Or just more lowlights?) Let the Minister for Building Safety know your thoughts 👇🏼

To those who have recently watched the Netflix documentary on Grenfell, here's a quick run down of issues which still haven't changed since the fire. Thread on the bad site: x.com/PeteApps/sta...

Just read the latest @eocs-official.bsky.social / @ukcag.bsky.social email update. This is spot on: "Long story short, Labour is failing to keep its manifesto commitments on building safety and has chosen to back the builders and protect the interests of business rather than ordinary people."

📰 The BBC mentions our recent survey. ‼️59% of shared owners who responded told us they can't sell. Reasons include unresolved building safety issues, high service charges, and short leases that shared owners cannot extend. 🚨 We need the Government to act. ⬇️ www.bbc.com/news/article...

Same here. £312,000 on alarms throughout and mist suppression to common areas. Paid for by leaseholders. Remediation not started yet.
