🆕 The UN Human Rights Committee has called on the UK Government to do more to remediate unsafe cladding, describing the circumstances that led to the Grenfell fire as “potential violations of the right to life and human dignity” #BuildingSafetyCrisis pbctoday.co.uk/news/building-…
Spotted in @MetroUK this morning. #AffordableHomes
“It’s shared ownership, there’s a cap to how much the rent can increase but in terms of a service charge, they can just keep putting it up. It's a tricky situation. It's making me question my decision to move here.” #SharedOwnership mylondon.news/news/south-lon…
Well this took me a few months to investigate: since Grenfell, 15,210 residents have been forced to move out of dangerous flats across Britain, analysis of 7 years’ local media reports found thetimes.co.uk/article/forced…
❗Shared owners living in a London block of flats have been told they must pay an extra £5,000 a year for their service charge due to flammable cladding. 💸 The monthly charge for a shared ownership flat "has trebled from £205 to £614.29" 🚨 This is unsustainable @michaelgove

"There is a risk that shared owners will fall between the cracks between conventional leaseholders and those who rent." (Lord Young of Cookham) Sharing for any shared owners following the progress of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill. #SharedOwnership theyworkforyou.com/lords/?id=2024…

Gap in Building Safety Act leaves shared owner with cladding bill of up to £23,000 dlvr.it/T62HJY #ukhousing
The fundamental issue with shared ownership is the additional costs levied on a demographic that by definition isn't necessarily flushed with cash. Restrictions on resale, combined with cladding and building safety items have also left folks trapped in unsafe, worthless assets.
MPs are calling for “urgent” reform of shared ownership, as residents struggle with growing bills. But what will reform do to the finances of social landlords? @StephenD_ speaks to the sector #UKhousing insidehousing.co.uk/insight/can-th…
Leaders of the agency supposed to be tackling England’s housing crisis are under fire from their own staff for neglecting delivery and a “failure” to manage spending, including nearly £400k on an internal meeting 🔴 Exclusive from @KeithCooper1973 trib.al/9BnPRdO
Can the sector afford shared ownership reform? dlvr.it/T5tZ1C #ukhousing

@SkyNews I am trapped in a shared ownership property and would be grateful if Kay Burley could also mention the massive problem with leaseholds. L&Q suggested I renew my leasehold, I paid for a survey and other legal fees. They asked for £25000 for a new lease. I am retired and cant pay
❗@michaelgove @Lee4NED The Government and housing providers have failed to mitigate the impact of the building safety crisis on shared owners. 1/4 #EndOurCladdingScandal news.sky.com/story/shared-o…

@inter_gen @melyork @Lees_Martina I read the report. I understand your prism but things aren't black & white. I live with this crisis every day and have done so since July 2017. I know pensioners who can't pay sky-high service charges and young people on upwards career paths who are able to pay.
Scandal of the cladding victims left homeless, a much-needed and ever-meticulous update from @Lees_Martina thetimes.co.uk/article/34c5aa…
Only £2.1bn of the £9.1bn in government grants to fix blocks with fire risks have been spent. The first fund opened 5 years ago
This is the scale of the building safety scandal, which seems to have been all but forgotten
Also: I did a deep dive into the govt's building safety data after they changed how they reported it. About 8,500 unsafe buildings could be missing from the latest data
Fozia Malik owns her home but has been homeless for over 3 years - because her building is too dangerous to live in. So she lives in a tiny room in a student hostel where she washes her clothes in a bucket thetimes.co.uk/article/forced…
Well this took me a few months to investigate: since Grenfell, 15,210 residents have been forced to move out of dangerous flats across Britain, analysis of 7 years’ local media reports found thetimes.co.uk/article/forced…
❗Shared owners living in a London block of flats have been told they must pay an extra £5,000 a year for their service charge due to flammable cladding. 💸 The monthly charge for a shared ownership flat "has trebled from £205 to £614.29" 🚨 This is unsustainable @michaelgove
Flat owners ‘held to ransom’ after service charge trebles to £7,000 a year trib.al/GvqsonJ
@JamesWMonk @ResourcesShared @EddieNestorMBE No, the HA will refuse to staircase at ‘unremediated’ value.
@ResourcesShared I don't mean nil valuation for mortgage purposes, I mean literally worthless. Every time the SC goes up it mechanistically reduces the value of the flat. Once SC goes above the market rent of the flat, that flat is mostly worthless. It has to work like any bond-type asset
BBC Radio London bit on shared ownership service charges here, from 1:48:00 onwards. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
Should be on BBC Radio London shortly on shared ownership service charges.
"One legal expert tells Inside Housing that he feels as if some in the sector have their “fingers in their ears” when it comes to shared owners’ experience." Spot on.
Can the sector afford shared ownership reform? dlvr.it/T5tZ1C #ukhousing
The fundamental issue with shared ownership is the additional costs levied on a demographic that by definition isn't necessarily flushed with cash. Restrictions on resale, combined with cladding and building safety items have also left folks trapped in unsafe, worthless assets.
It is a treadmill, one you have to keep moving on in order to stay still. Rents increase regardless of market conditions, service charges are at the whim of freeholder competence &, frankly, greed. Lack of specialist knowledge on HAs for the tenure also impacts service delivery.
MPs are calling for “urgent” reform of shared ownership, as residents struggle with growing bills. But what will reform do to the finances of social landlords? @StephenD_ speaks to the sector #UKhousing insidehousing.co.uk/insight/can-th…
@StephenD_ I can't read your piece, unfortunately. Did landlords acknowledge the impact of the cross-subsidy model has had on shared owners? Do they understand the costs we are facing are unsustainable? NHF did not respond to the Committee report - at least not publicly.
Can the sector afford shared ownership reform? dlvr.it/T5tZ1C #ukhousing
Lots of freeholders want to have it two ways - they’re investors who speculate to make money but they’re also happy to argue that the state should regulate the leasehold money so their investments are guaranteed and never fluctuate …. doesn’t quite work like that
Homes are not investments. Residents are not cash cows. Money has been extracted for long enough from #leasehold. Time for #leaseholdreform
