π Minister @mtpennycook has set out his plans for shared ownership.
The problem? Itβs a plan to sell more shared ownership homes, not to help existing shared owners.

This governmentβs plans are too little, too late.
We call on MPs scrutinising the Social Housing Bill to insist on a statutory review of shared ownership and demand funding for buybacks.

Just exhausting..
10 years since you locked us all up in cladded flats & threw away the key..

Thatβs another Β£1 billion for DEVELOPERS.
On top of public funding for "Your First Home".
@andyburnham This budget is increasingly looking like an early Xmas present for housebuilders who have failed to meet their building safety remediation targets.
π° An extra Β£1 billion for the social and affordable homes programme to boost council housebuilding - thatβs worth 10,000 homes ish
π° Plans to make it easier for councils to borrow
A signal of intent which will make a difference - but - remember, the total Β£40 billion social and affordable homes programme (SAHP) is spread out over 10 years so thereβs around Β£30 billion still to come at an unspecified dateβ¦.that wonβt huge number of homes in the short term

@AngelaRayner @andyburnham you talk about cost of living, hereβs something you can do to help millions of shared ownership victimsβ¦ why are we subject to above RPI rent increases? @MartinSLewis
Jussie πππ» retweeted
Your regular reminder that, if youβre a shared owner, you have no option to challenge the rent increases youβre required to pay. Your rent will continue to rise above RPI every year.

Calum can't sell his flat. An offer Β£75k below what he paid fell through. Cladding issues and high service charges are factors.
This is the human cost of the building safety crisis. Lives on hold. Choices taken away.
Will Labour get a grip or keep kicking the can down the road?

It appears there is a new national sales campaign for leasehold retirement park homes.
Please donβt go near these schemes, I guarantee you will regret it.

Same trap here, with the added curse of shared ownership. Service charge was Β£6k last year - with no amenities.
Remediated or not, these 1-bed flats will remain unsellable as @mtpennycook continues to fund newbuilds marketed with underestimated first-year service charges of Β£2k.

Many buildings weren't built correctly in the first place. Why are any innocent leaseholders paying for any historic fire safety defects? The latest Bill proposed by @AngelaRayner and @mhclg doesn't go far enough to help #endourcladdingscandal. ππΌ @LBC interview with @AliMirajUK

Hope residents are OK. But no surprise we have a toxic low quality house building industry - light years behind automotive and aeronautical. Politically @UKLabour to get an urgent grip. Cladding, Building Safety , Remediation & Fleecehold. Whereβs @AngelaRayner? @FreeLeasehlders
Jussie πππ» retweeted
Very worrying. And itβs not the first time blocks of flats have had to be decanted due to structural safety concerns.
The building safety crisis is about far more than cladding and fire safety.
@TomCopley, how many Londoners are affected?
Jussie πππ» retweeted
Flat blocks are capitulating, but @mtpennycook @AngelaRayner and @andyburnham are too busy rewarding the developer mafia with taxpayer bungs via Help to Buy 2.0, rather than prioritising building safety. No doubt that remediation costs will be abdicated to leaseholders.

If you believe Melania Trump negotiated a cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine, youβre a fucking idiot.
