I feel desperately sorry for the Leaseholders being charged for all this (and fire wardens, etc)... It's utterly deplorable. The builders and or government who allowed such buildings should be paying.
The builders build too the architects drawing. So no it's not the builders who should pay is it?
@@stuartjones1982 The builders in many cases skipped steps - fire breaks not installed or fire doors not installed properly etc. So they should pay to fix those defects that were always breach of regulation, and those faults were not designed by architects - it's shoddy workmanship or skipping steps. Where it comes to use of combustible materials that were accepted by regulations at the time of build, this should be paid for by the government.
@@endourcladdingscandal4122 if steps were skipped then by all means I agree. But how was the building passed as fit for purpose? Buildings have to be inspected aand passed by the nhbc or similar, so in theory it could be down to them?
@@stuartjones1982not always in our case corners we're cut and fire cavity barriers we're missing. It's also down to the choice of construction materials and it's down to local councils to actually inspect the builds. As opposed to signing them off in principal. Local councils and the government are equally to blame for this.
9:06 - 10:38 THIS is what happens when government deregulates & public services are fragmented through outsourcing.
I live in a block of flats, luckily with no cladding but the local council are footing the bill from changing the entire heating system over from the existing one that uses an internal interconnected flu network because there are no fire breaks. My wife and I consider ourselves lucky, we have been made aware of the costs involved. There is no way we could afford it, it would bankrupt us.
Disgusting that the government is still allowing this to happen. Ban leaseholds immediately and make the developers pay for remediation works!
Not only ban future leasehold but they need to give existing leaseholders the properties that they had effectively paid for.
And people think the government have their best interests at heart 🙉🙈🙊
The amount of money these main construction contractors make is insane and still they leave people's familys in despair, like if there's no altruism as everyone knows that the council in tha area is also blame🚸
All buildings with flamable cladding and insulation should be repaired or pulled down...Here they go again cutting costs over human lives.
It's not just cladding many builds we're not compliant at the time of construction. The government isn't taking it seriously and has done practically nothing to protect trapped leaseholders. They're not even making the construction industry accountable.
Oh look, my flat's on the news again. Currently waiting to find out how much of my £85,000 service charge I'm liable for, when they'll start remediation work, & if that'll even be the end of it. I just want to sell & get on with my life.
Shout out to KingSpan.....Legends!....
Never buy flats. Never buy leasehold. Either rent, or buy a freehold house.
The crypto market has been favourable in the past weeks, I keep missing out on this opportunity, I'm most certainly very impatient how can I ever make a profit in the crypto market.
No it ain’t it’s just dropped massively 😂😂😂
