Good on for this investigation of ’s ineptitude and mistreatment of social housing tenants and leaseholders. 100% spot on in my experience as a shared owner.

But it’s not just them. It’s ALL housing associations. The whole system is broken and reform is needed.

Informative and important (announcement) thread from @HarryScoffin for all and anyone interested in how we can ensure is near its end-days as a feudal/rip-off system of semi-ownership
RT @HarryScoffin: A big moment yesterday for the leasehold liberation movement. Let’s take a breath, stand back and consider the situation. We’re seeing a bipartisan consensus emerge on the need to abolish the fundamentally unfair and archaic leasehold tenure…

The issue with owning a house is that the homeowner only has a possessory interest in the land on which his house sits, but no equitable interest. So, prefer , when acquiring .

Good to see issues on TV on 10pm @BBCNews - this issue is cutting through (at last) and is now understood as part of the broader housing crisis.

Really like this piece of social history re housing in @unherd - explains why building more homes/proper home ownership (not ) so historically important for democracy. And why Tories seem to be losing grasp of that. Labour set to take advantage unherd.com/2023/02/how-the-tor

@mxtthxw I wrote eight fucking complaint letters about my landlord this morning.

Three months after reporting an urgent leak that's at risk of flooding my flat, it's still not sorted. They're a massive housing association. They can't even follow their own repairs process. Or their own formal complaints process. So I've just written to the mayor, my MP, the Housing Ombudsman, etc. It's so exhausting.

Who are the worst companies you’ve ever had to deal with?

Mine:

Peabody (Actually, all associations are a nightmare and sucks.)

(The worst delivery company. Yeah, you can change your name to Evri, but your crapness will still catch up with you.)

Southern Trains (During yet another delayed and chaotic journey from London to Brighton, I once witnessed a member of their own staff running away from the platform as he was ‘sick of this shit’.)

If true, myself and many 1000s of leaseholders, will be relieved & delighted. Won't get out celebratory bunting yet but allowing myself a bit of a quiet cheer.
RT @PhilH23: Michael Gove has just said in the commons that the Govt will legislate on Leasehold within the next parliamentary year to ‘end the feudal system’

RT @team_greenhalgh: This is a huge milestone in our work to fix the system and to level up home ownership. Abolishing these unreasonable costs will make the dream of home ownership more affordable. Many have already set ground rent to zero and I urge others to follow suit. 👇
