Angela is going to “end freehold for good”
Those four words tell us all we need to know about her depth of understanding of the subject matter

Then why don't people flock to Scotland to get a cheap tenement? Sure it might burn down, ok there's no insurance. But it's commonhold

A hand wringing of lenders over a g/rent of < 85 pennies a day rising by the RPI every 10 years seem bizarre when a FTB often has a mortgage of 3000 pennies a day and a 1/2% increase in interest rates sees it rise by a further 300 pennies a day

Ok so say £250pa management fee = 72 pence a week profit 📉

It’s an interesting one as the issues have all been caused by a (now) failed RTM. We have picked up the pieces, a lot of it at our cost, kept the building insured and are live with resolving
Sorry to spoil your freeholder bashing
Would have been defunct forever with commonhold

One of the people mentioned in the article instigated the RTM then resigned as soon as problems arose. It’s easy to run buildings until it’s not…

But it's not like 5m people are joining protests, it's the same 20 nutters on twitter over and over driving chaos.
Yes, there's a building safety crisis. But actually the freeholder is often very helpful in getting a good quote.
You're scapegoating incorrectly

That misses all context. There’s 5m leaseholds vs 844 management disputes (2023), let’s say half were negative, this gives us 0.008% negative or 99.992% neutral/better

The tribunal often decides otherwise.

I feel I have enough real world experience and common sense to be able to logic out the likelihood of certain probabilities
There is a scenario where some form of CH is introduced and the market refuses to adopt. Gov would then need to step in as effective freeholder/underwriter
16 Mar 2025
Rather radical to predict what will happen to participants in future property markets; fact is nobody knows; government may be skewed towards consumer choice (some will argue not enough); markets have to adjust

Could they be “sold” (being the operative word) as commonhold?
Let’s go back a step, could a large site such as this even be dev financed as commonhold?
Would any sane developer/lender even chance this for no upside?
No need to answer
15 Mar 2025
They're being sold 'off plan'. They haven't been delivered yet. Whoever buys them, they are currently planned as leaseholds when they could be sold as commonhold. That is my point.

“If” this is true then it would be very useful for the values of these commonhold sites to be examined. Apparently flats rise in value less than houses because of leasehold so the commonhold ones should be much more valuable than leasehold equivalents 👍
14 Mar 2025
Agree much work to be done although there are already at least 3 commonhold schemes in England successfully converted from leasehold a couple of decades ago (greater awareness needed) @CommonholdNow @mtpennycook

If we super optimistically assume all your 2.4k followers are leaseholders and there are millions of leaseholders out there, how is that “the many” when it is mathematically and literally “the few” ?
16 Dec 2024
Patience is snapping.
We are the many, they are the few.
Government is meant to work for the people, NOT rent-seekers, middlemen and extortionists.

“Forcing” people to do things they didn’t sign up for isn’t going to work
The people who then need “controlling” would be the leaseholders, as they inevitably fall out and the whole thing descends into irresolvable chaos. At which point some bright spark would reinvent freehold

“Millions” is complete nonsense
It would imply 60% of leasehold is unsaleable, which is complete nonsense
A big part of why we are in this mess is due to the spread of complete nonsense
Most doesn’t stand up to any sort of scrutiny yet is still adopted and repeated

How do people sell and finance something they don’t own?
All property has largely unregulated and hefty overheads, including most rental property
19 Oct 2024
Leasehold is the right to occupy 100cu.m of air for a fixed time. It is not owning anything. And often comes with hefty and unregulated annual charges.

Apparently 86% of private flats remain unmortgagable….🤥

The Grenfell Tower Inquiry phase 2 report will be published on Wednesday 4 September.
I imagine that @AngelaRayner and @RushanaraAli have already read it.
7 years on, 600,000 people still live in dangerous buildings and
3 million flats remain unmortgageable.
Time to step up.

This is not a professional environment. We have been on here for around 15yrs and only remain to try and dispel a lot of the nonsense we see and re-educate the realities.
For example, the laws are not mediaeval, they are from much more recent times
23 Aug 2024
How many pro-FHdrs are on this platform then, if we're only using this as a comparison on the merits of a mediaeval set of laws being abusively applied (by some) in 2024?

This is dangerous. You are advising people to seek advice “before they commit” but not from a lawyer and/or a qualified person but from you. Your qualification/experience being a patchwork of four managing agents in five years
This is exactly why we need regulation.
Please stop

Has anybody approached @LKPleasehold for comment? The agent in question is somebody they champion as being accredited by them (which is paid for)
