UKREiiF stands for the UK’s Real Estate Investment & Infrastructure Forum. Interesting that your “bold plan” is being promoted at a real estate investment forum while residents on #fleecehold estates are paying full council tax and extra uncapped estate charges on top. Roads, drainage, parks and public open spaces are increasingly left in private management instead of public ownership and accountability. Residents pay through the house price, council tax and then “estate fees” as well. That is not fixing infrastructure. It is shifting public responsibility and liability onto homeowners while others profit. @mtpennycook are you bought? This is why people are losing trust in government. @HarryScoffin was right about the lobbying and developers being welcomed in. Do @HorNet_Group think this government and @SteveReedMP actually care about abolishing #fleecehold or properly fixing leasehold? The manifesto promised to end it and people are still waiting. #Fleecehold aka #fakefreeholds Government and councils enabled this by choosing not to adopt public infrastructure and land, leaving it tied to private management companies and investment interests through homeowners’ deeds.

@evz1958 We are not against estates that prefer to be privately managed, but its clear from 10 years of campaigning and having people contact us from all over the UK that most people are not aware of the liabilities when they are buying homes in privately managed estates.

@HorNet_Group Public can access the area as the roads themselves are adopted. But the communal areas are covered by insurance taken out by the management company. Not sure why it's required but overall the management co are doing a reasonable job here. If not they'll be removed.

The problem here is they are not communal areas but public open areas. Open to the public while private homeowners pay to maintain. If local authorities wouldn't maintain these areas properly that is another conversation. The other problem is uncapped fees, poor standards of service and spiralling costs. If you also look at the fact that in most cases you can't change the management company, you are looking at a very toxic setup which will essentially devalue your home. Do you want to take back what you just said @evz1958

@katesineed @MartinSLewis @mhclg @Trumpian_Horse @SteveReedMP @HorNet_Group The service charge in new developments is very valid as it covers maintenance of "communal" areas. As open areas they would normally be the responsibility of the LA. However, let's be honest, they'd look a mess in no time 🫣

@evz1958 Are they communal areas that the public can access? And we've not come across cases where privately managed estates have RTM. It's hard to understand your case without specific details.

@HorNet_Group In the development plan they are designated communal areas, or they are here, and that includes maintenance of a large pond. We've changed the management company 3 times in the 12/13 yrs since we've lived here. Maybe we're "lucky" & no I don't want to take back what I said.

Also many estates are paying thousands in management fees and the estates look terrible. We suggest you inform yourself properly before offering an opinion.

The impact of this leadership speculation & uncertainty on what journalists and politicians call 'ordinary people', aka the country, is real... I have had texts from housebuilders, social housing providers, and leaseholders all saying how worried they are now... One person has texted saying they wish "Matthew Pennycook could be locked in a room with the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill" - not sure how the minister would feel about that, but imagine how millions of leaseholders with enormous bills and homes they can't sell feel watching this unfold ....

Genuine question. Who is liking these tweets? Are there really 555 leaseholders, trapped in the building safety crisis, who've had their lives made better by @SteveReedMP? Or are these impressions/likes all bought and paid for?

@SophieLB1 Parliament is full of weak politicians and even weaker people. My US friends think it’s hilarious and their President is a genuine tangerine. The UK is an embarrassment.

The nation now knows how it feels to be a housing campaigner with the housing minister seeming to change every other day. Impossible to get anything done

Keir Starmer has learnt precisely nothing from Labour’s local elections drubbing. Instead of reforms so leaseholders can take rightful control of their homes and chainsaw wasteful spending, we get a Bill that props up the service charge racket to keep the property mafia happy.
