❗That dream has turned into a nightmare for millions of leaseholders who are still trapped in dangerous, unmortgageable flats @RishiSunak
It's 6 years since the Grenfell tragedy. Where is your 'bold plan' to fix the building safety crisis❓

Getting the keys to your first place is a special feeling 🏡
But I know that for too many people, the dream of home ownership feels like just that – a dream.
I’ve got a bold plan to support more families onto the housing ladder whilst protecting Britain’s countryside.
ALT Graphic reads: One million new homes this Parliament. Over 2.2 million more homes since 2010. 770,000 first home owners.

Insult to 🐌 to say BSF-funded non-ACM cladding remediation progressing at 🐌 pace. April 2023 : 1 full application approved & £21M spent.
📞 “…your remediation is important to us…”
When will the @NAOorguk be asked to review the BSF?

I have many more questions, but I will leave things there for now. The fact is that the building safety crisis remains largely unresolved for the vast majority of its blameless victims. I hope you can give them some comfort by providing direct answers to the questions above.

Leaseholders trapped in the #BuildingSafetyCrisis cannot remortgage.
Many are, or will soon be on their lender's standard variable rate, facing huge additional costs.
@UKFtweets @luhc what action are you taking to address this?

Police say they’re becoming increasingly concerned over the whereabouts of a Mrs L. Truss from Norfolk. Last seen driving entire country off a cliff.

Try to imagine how it feels to read this when you're a leaseholder trapped in the #BuildingSafetyCrisis who cannot sell or remortgage.

Markets now imply mortgage rates of 7% or more next year. If house prices don’t fall, affordability would deteriorate to its worst level since the financial crisis. About as bad as the 80s. In this kind of scenario, a house price crash would essentially be unavoidable.

Seems mental to judge Eddie Howe on the season Bournemouth were relegated from the PL and not the four years he kept them up on a budget of space invaders and capri suns.
Without exaggeration, Howe has been one of the best managers in Europe since joining Newcastle. He's superb.

If my building is safe @BorisJohnson then why am I facing £60k bill to replace combustible cladding and install cavity barriers that the developer ‘forgot’ to put in, having to install & pay for a firealarm, & been told to ignore ‘stay put’ advice & evacuate in the event of fire?

PM Boris Johnson to @itvcalendar on buildings with fire safety issues:
- "a lot of people are living with an unnecessary sense of anxiety about the homes they're in because those buildings are as safe as any other"
- says new housing sec Michael Gove will fix the cladding crisis

Win or lose (I REALLY hope we win!). Football has already come home. Fans of all ages, races & religions have come together to support @England. The spirit and mood of most of the nation has been lifted after a tough 18 months and that to me is what football coming home means!

In case you missed it 🕘 | The hidden housing scandal
Hundreds of thousands of flat owners could be forced to take on 30-year loans akin to a second mortgage to fix fire safety defects similar to those that caused the Grenfell fire. (1)

This article in the FT is written about the property I live in. If you hadn’t understood what the “cladding crisis” is about before now, this is a good explanation.

As I argued in a debate on leaseholders and cladding on Monday, what's needed is a formal system that facilitates the valuation and sale of properties that have some fire risk or an unconfirmed external wall façade. MHCLG are going to need to do more.

Great piece in @Telegraph today revealing the impact the cladding scandal is having on leaseholders who need to move, but are unable to sell their properties.
The system is broken and will not be fixed without gvmt intervention. #EndOurCladdingScandal

The media focus that the cladding and mortgage crisis is now receiving is welcome. Some of us were telling Ministers at the start of the year that the EWS system was not working. High time the Government came forward with a solution #EndOurCladdingScandal

It's clear that the new industry-wide EWS valuation process has not yet resolved the cladding and mortgage crisis. Look forward to discussing with @RobertJenrick how we resolve the matter for tens of thousands of leaseholders trapped and unable to sell or re-mortgage their homes.

👇Worrying for anyone that owns a flat👇
@LKPleasehold survey reveals that 90% of completed EWS checks are stating that cladding remediation is needed.
Even once you get an EWS check, the nightmare isn't over. Could still be trapped for years and face huge works bills.
