Remember when the previous govt capped rent increases for shared owners at 7% as they were set to exceed 13%? Here a @UKLabour minister tells housing associations he won’t do that. Their income streams are protected. You’re not. "Affordable housing," they said.
The Shared Owners' Network@SharedOwnersNet

The Renters Rights Act makes changes to shared ownership. 🆕 @mtpennycook has urged registered providers to “take action now”. ⚠️ But will shared owners, especially those who sublet, get the information they need in time?

If a #leaseholder has rented their flat out & wants to sell, they ask their tenant to move out. But as @tomcopley knows full well, many flats are NOT selling for years. Flat cannot be let out for one year if we can't sell. Harming leaseholders has become a sport for @UKLabour.
Tom Copley@tomcopley

People can give notice after one, two or five years. And somewhere in between, or beyond. The Renters’ Rights Act just means landlords can’t evict tenants for no reason. No one is obliged to rent a flat for an infinite period of time. Happy to clarify that for you, Tom.

Imagine trying to sell a flat your family has outgrown & you've moved out of. Not being able to sell it, not being able to rent it out because of your intention is to sell & sale falls through, you won't be able to rent it out for a year. @SteveReedMP & @mhclg have caused this.
ANDIBABY@ANDIBABY8

Under the new renters rights act. If you give notice because you want to sell, and the sale falls through - you cannot rent it again for a year. How is this going to help the housing shortage? Landlords pay tax on rental income too. I see another black hole appearing!

Leaseholders didn’t build, didn’t draw up the building regs, didn’t sign-off buildings as safe & fit for sale, do not own any aspect of the building & cannot sell their leases until “make safe” extortionate costs are paid. Literally hostages in their homes.
Pitcairn House@PitcairnHouse

This is awful - a nightmare for any leaseholder - why is this government so useless? Does it actually care? @Keir_Starmer bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@realhansard You won’t be paying up to 60% of your insurance premium as a commission to the freeholder. You don’t get the scale of rent extraction in leasehold where the management is not under the control of leaseholders. Collusive tendering and related party transactions are endemic.

Claus Vistesen@ClausVistesen·
A good question. Another issue is that the decision to delay this until 2028 will look to leaseholders like a classic switch and bait. "We tried, but were scuppered by unforeseen events". If @UKLabour are serious, they need to fast track this in the current session.
Free Leaseholders@FreeLeasehlders

Housing Minister @mtpennycook says residential ground rents are “a niche investment”. So why is a @UKLabour government legislating to preserve this money-for-nothing scam until 2068 — despite conceding pension funds aren’t heavily invested? Who benefits? Not leaseholders.

Ground rent prices rise as investors chase yield @FT 2013 !!! "Ground rents have gained in popularity in recent years as investors continue to search for assets that provide strong and secure income streams" @TanyaPowley ft.com/content/383316…

We asked @mtpennycook about how the government developed its policy to cap ground rents ⬇️ We begin our prelegislative scrutiny of the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill on 3 March. Find out more: committees.parliament.uk/committee/17/h…

Really - lots of economic evidence indicates Help to Buy inflates house prices & developers’ profits. But it wouldn’t be first time @WelshGovernment policy failed - see vote against BSA 116/125 in 2022 - now being recognised as serious error.

🏘️ We’ve invested £600 million to date in Help to Buy - Wales, supporting people across the country to take their first step onto the property ladder. We recently spoke to a first-time buyer about how the scheme helped them purchase their home. @wg_communities

📻 We've been talking about excessive service charges for years. What are they, who pays them, how do they increase & what can you do if you think they're wrong? All questions from Adrian Chiles on @bbc5live after the news at noon.

@HenryPryor @bbc5live What are they? A licence to print money Who pays? Leaseholders How do they increase? Whenever the managing agent feels like it - it's the Wild West. What can you do if you think they're wrong? Nowt. The law is rigged against you. Litigation can bankrupt you even if you win.

@PeteApps As @Keir_Starmer took power, his support vanished; we're now just a political inconvenience. He now seems plain annoyed that we dare try to hold him to the position he took whilst in opposition.

Residents of 53 Agar Grove have already learned their homes have defects so serious they may need to be demolished. Now they face the prospect of paying their warranty providers legal fees, after it took them to court. Lucky their local MP is onside (!)

@HouseRowena @freeofhold @SteveReedMP @mtpennycook @Keir_Starmer Forgive me for being pessimistic, but I am a realist: there are currently 3 separate reasons why my flats is still unmortgageable: unresolved building safety matters, a ground rent over 0.1% of the property value and a service charge that exceeds 2% of property value.

@carla_denyer The cladding & building safety crisis is still a live issue. Hundreds of thousands of people have seen zero progress. Insurers have been cashing in because successive governments have failed to curb their profiteering.
