End Our Cladding Scandal
Великобритания
Добавлен 24 сен 2020
End Our Cladding Scandal is a campaign set up by Inside Housing, UK Cladding Action Group and other cladding action groups from across the UK, that calls on the UK government to lead an urgent national effort to solve the spiralling building safety crisis that has emerged since the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017.
In the absence of sufficient government funding, costs for remediation often fall on leaseholders - with sums reaching above £100,000 per flat in the worst cases. Leaseholders are also required to fund waking watches (24-hour fire patrols) and other interim measures, at costs of up to £1,600 per month each, until their blocks are made safe.
Around the country up to 4.5 million leaseholders live in modern flats that are unsellable - even in three-storey blocks - because they cannot demonstrate the safety of their cladding, insulation, balconies and wall structure, a necessary requirement of gaining a mortgage thanks to government guidance.

Sky News: Building owners are still not making homes safe: Bristol & Birmingham (04/09/24)
In Bristol, Sky News' Becky Johnson visits Steph, one of the first people in the country to apply for a Remediation Order to enforce her building owner to make their building safe, as well as Joanna from Eccleston House, where a fire spread rapidly due to unsafe cladding.
Across the country in Birmingham, she visits Paul, who is always ready to evacuate at a moment's notice due to Grenfell-style cladding still on the building, and Jim, whose story highlights that removing cladding will only fix half the problem as buildings often have other safety defects.

Debate on Amendments to the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill 29th April 2024 (House of Lords)
Enquiry, I think they mean cover up 😮😢
Was the scaffolding compliant 😮
so what happens after to the leaseholders ?
This is a direct result of the complete mess of a remediation process due to the government not making it clear that ALL leaseholders should NOT be paying for it. They made it so complex an unfair that it has taken years to get here - just starting the remediation for many buildings, and others not even started yet. If they made the real culprits pay it would all be done by now.
This is nothing less then a national scandal. Thoughts and prayers to victims
Leasehold... where you pay the price of freehold and the landlord and pick and choose when they're a land lord. Need fixing? you pay. But you pay ground rent and service charge too
Only in the Uk Leasehold is a joke .scrap it you own the property you owe the land 👎🇬🇧
Stillnot addressing the costs to leaseholders or those not protected by government cap on costs
Leasehold is an utter scam. Needs to be scrapped now and retrospectively too
Totally agree all leaseholders should have qualifying status except maybe big business owners of flats not small scaoe people investing their pension
Write to your m.p this is a scandal as people are unaware of this when they purchase a flat
So sorry to hear this
Thank you for reporting on this
Service charges are paying for these mistakes
No. The owner is the freeholder. The freeholder must pay. Service charge is just maintenance. A leaseholder is just renting a place.
'Promosm' 😍
How do they measure the cut of point? Is it the cladding only or from ground up to cladding? I’m getting mine removed now by my council which is Woking borough council but no one is telling me if I’m liable for remediation or not. They won’t answer our calls, our emails and are just dodging the questions. How can I find out if I’m covered under the government funding or not? During the removal they also damaged the window frames too and we found out that the windows were not fixed or supported correctly either. One minute they remove the beams that are supporting the building and windows and then they decided to put them back on again
Is there a Facebook page or a platform where people affected can all get together and get information or help for this issue ?

Here is the only question to consider. The bill went from the Commons to the Lords. What positive changes were made of any significance. Any? Or was this just "democracy" which means everyone gets to air their comments but nothing really changes.
There is no change......The all point of all of this was to remove the unfairness ground rent! This has not gone through, so Freeholders can still take advantage of people who spent over 300k to own NOTHING! That's a fucking shame
"Justice delayed is justice denied"
Wait till people find out they don't own their freehold house, their car, their children and even their bodies...
Leasehold probably makes it cheaper to buy a house, but obviously if you have the money you should always buy freehold.
This doesn't make sense. OK. Everyone knows. Never buy flats. But to have you affected by what a seller did - that is nuts! So if the sell commits murder then you go to jail do you. That is insane!
Makes sense ... come on you have multiple homes. Some people like us barely have 1. Sell 2 of 5.
Thanks Michael Gove!! I know Tory cannot win 2024. But the last Act of the Conservatives will not be forgotten come election 2029! Judgement day!
Leasehold is not an unfare system it has just been abused by investment funds. The kind that Tory members love to have as donars to be honest. The ground rent and service charge and renewal fees have all been abuse to maximise land freeholders profits. English Land Law is a cornerstone of Englush land ownership by the elites since 1066. I think you wil find that only detached houses will be free from leasehold estate status. Residential flats will never be and farmland will never be, there will always be leasehold including for commercial property.
Does the bbc have a legal department. That was the worst definition of a leasehold land/ownership vs freehold land/ownership I have ever heard. The freeholder owns the land. Land includes anything attached to the land by its own weight ( with some exceptions) and this extends down to the bottom of the Earth ( with some exception in statute and common law) and up to the heavens ( with some obvious exceptions such as allowing for airspace). So the house or flat etc is owned by the freeholder not just the land the house or flat is built on. 😕
you are not clear about the "problem" please extrapolate and clarify
why cant you take back a ROOM in your places you own?
Omg sad it’s really disgusting what the government is doing
Hi Caroline, I’m assuming you’re referring to Latitude 52? I am a Leaseholder there too although I live in London. I am a qualifying Leaseholder as it’s the only property I own but I (as all the other qualifying Leaseholders in the building which is most) are also caught by the Lawyers “interpretation” of our relevant buildings status because as you say, the Freeholder (via a Ltd Company) also personally owns a number of apartments too. Very sorry to hear how this has affected your health and retirement. It is all so wrong. The Building Safety Act is designed to protect Leaseholders not wealthy multi-millionaire property owners. A group of us Leaseholders are taking collective action via a Tier 1 Tribunal. Also, our MP Luke Pollard has been quite helpful. I’ve had direct communication with his office and some of the other Leaseholders met with him personally earlier this week. Anyway, feel free to reach out if I / we can help at all even if just for some general support. Simon.
@simonherring9367 Please email EOCS with your contact details so that we can pass them on to Caroline, thank you.
Thanks. Will do.
Well done Giles
I thought I was a qualifying leaseholder. Capped at £nil 0. To now find out our freeholder owns flats in our building so is a leaseholder. Which we are told now that because of this the qualifying leaseholder is not protected. The costs are passed onto us. So this loop hole has allowed the freeholder to pass the costs onto the innocent leaseholder.
Get rid of the leasehold business 😢
No-one is talking about the lack of advice that the solicitors have given!
The government should not allow freeholder and builders to construct new buildings unless they complete remediation of existing buildings.
bullshit!
A national disgrace
Well done to all the jounallist and veti dine who shared their story.
Msrthew Pennycook
Hurry up and passed this bill please.
Commenting for the algorithm, this issue needs to have a resolution
This country is a joke
Another comment for the algorithm, the lack of progress on this issue is a national disgrace
Commenting to bless the youtube algo, because this topic is worth attention. If the country does not sort this cladding issue soon, then a bunch of wrong signals is going to be sent to businesses and the public, which will chip away at a fragile network of incentives and disincentives, making the UK less attractive place to live, do business and invest.
VIVA FELICITY ❤❤❤❤ VIVA CONSERVATIVE 💙 YOU ARE ALWAYS RIGHT
Thank you for fighting for us leaseholders we appreciate you. Hopefully the bills passes
I tried last year. A leasehold is a long-term prepared rental. It isn't yours no matter how much they say it is. There are Draconian codicil over what you are responsible for, and you can't even secure your property against the owners. The property I looked into they even had codicils about what type of paint you used to paint the property. Every responsibility was yours, with none of the authority or choice. Ask anything they don't answer. The solicitors that drafted the document refused to explain it qualify anything. I put pages of written questions in for clarification, they simply refused to answer, in fact they dropped the whole thing and refused to communicate after that. You have much greater freedom and rights as a renter than a leaseholder enforcible under the law. Luckily I am freehold and it seem staying that way. As a leaseholder you're just a source of income for the owner.
This will not be passed in parliament lol
Speaks someone who hasn't got a clue!
@@shebillings8942 "Speaks someone who hasn't got a clue"... You seem very fluent in gibberish
Would be great to get rid of the whole leasehold thing across the UK, rather than someone, investment company or other type of company (including individuals) buying up empty plots of land and then leaving it empty for years on end with nothing but a to let &or for lease sign on it. Only for the person or company involved to get a constant income stream from it on a monthly basis or once every century if housing were to be built on the land.
