Always thought the housing market in the UK was a bit of a shitshow but now with interest rates finally returning to historic norms it really has become even more of a shitshow

Here's the latest piece on outHouse...

The housing secretary, Michael Gove rightly lambasted England's largest council landlord for its housing failures, but he might want to wag the finger closer to home too.

Doh, why didn't I join the dots and come up with this idea ages ago? Guess there's a reason I'm not freelance... 🤣

You couldn't make this up.

The UK government has responded to the fucking dire state of social housing by ... *drum roll* ... training residents in how to complain.

Talk about victim-blaming!

And if you've ever tried complaining to a housing association, you know who needs training.

Very well explained. People feel unempowered. They look at local councils and see them as part of the problem. National govt just keeps screwing everyone. Gove now promising things but nothing is ever delivered. The system is working for private equity and venture capitalists. Is it any wonder #juniordoctors and other workers sorely need above inflation pay rises? Ppl can't afford to live and work where the jobs are.

"The initiative...is a response from the industry to the growing need to make our building stock greener and more energy efficient"

"...signposting and sharing best practice to speed up the roll out of greener homes. Creating the Hub will cement links with the finance community and the skills providers to enable locally based delivery programmes to be scaled up."

Good on #FT for this investigation of #Peabody’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.

"[T]he UK as a whole obliterates 50,000 buildings a year, particularly targeting social housing."

Funny that, how it's the supposedly genuinely affordable homes for working class folk that bear the brunt of demolition...
