United Kingdom
Приєднався 8 лип 2018
This National Leasehold Campaign has been created to highlight the current Leasehold / Freehold & Fleecehold Scandal that many home owners nationwide are totally unaware of.
The overall aim of this campaign is to abolish ALL residential leasehold and convert them into freehold (houses) or commonhold (flats/blocks of flats).
It's an opportunity for us to share experiences of the process so far, highlight discrepancies (which there are many) and stand united in fighting this unfair situation that has been forced upon each and every one of us.
www.leaseholdknowledge.com are working tirelessly in Parliament and with MPs to hold property developers accountable for this unnecessary situation we are in.

Leasehold Trap - The Briefing with Darren McCaffrey - GB News - 7/2/22
It's a terrible draconian system, it's outdated and it hurts everyone on the leasehold end. I hope the present government sticks to its word.
Renting is a dirty word! - Look at California - one missed rental payment and you’re living in your car - or in a tent.
The problems facing the sector are multi-layered and it is difficult to see the end goal. The UK Government can’t be seen to cancel commercial contracts without compensation.
can't be arsed watching this, when we get some honest politicians get back to me. i planned on spending three years tops in this retirement flat, until my son went to uni, then i should have been able to move anywhere in the world, if people - solicitors, management companies, estate management companies had done their job i could have had a dream cottage on the isle of wight, a round the world trip and 60k in the bank, but, everyone had to dick about until it all fell through, twice, i've been trapped in an open prison for eleven years - and now EVERYONE knows - DON'T buy leasehold, thanks. get it sorted.

That's shocking so many snags we never have this many problems in Ireland it's just unacceptable after paying so much money for a property are there no regulations in place to make sure work is carried out properly
now now now!!
Making money from peoples home
Torries supporting there rich landlords friends
Why bother paying the bloody council tax then. If the councils ain't gonna adopt the land, they need to be adding council tax reductions
the issue is that leasehold is a mill stone and thanks to the reform bill, which still hasn't happened cos NO politicians keep their word - it'll be another two years or more before i can sell a place that i've been trapped in for eleven years already when i expected to be able to move after three years.
‘Fleecehold’ is a trite slang word which detracts from the actual message from Leaseholders and will confuse the public IMHO.
well, you don't make much sense yourself. the issue is that leasehold is a mill stone and thanks to the reform bill, which still hasn't happened cos NO politicians keep their word - it'll be another two years or more before i can sell a place that i've been trapped in for eleven years already when i expected to be able to move after three years.
@HarryNicNicholas just saying Fleecehold is an emotive word where perhaps some analysis is needed to get a wider audience?. Which part of LAFRA will allow you to sell your flat?. Many leaseholders want historic ground rents cancelled but that argument is lost in the white noise around LAFRA.
@@UK-real-estate call it whatever you want i'm still a prisoner in an open prison and the reform bill has just advertised "DO NOT BUY LEASEHOLD" so i really couldn't give a rat's bum what you think do or say, you're about as helpful and my management company.
@HarryNicNicholas - and there you have it - no logical facts or discussion in reply - just sentiment. That is my point really - take it or leave it.
Way too vague of an answer!
politicians eh.
I have to pay 500 in ground rent
Tories are a joke
We bought our home we should not be called lesseholders
End fleecehold
Free hold was a con from the start just fill the riches pockets.
Seems more and more those who play by the rules get shafted while those who skirt rules become enriched.
About time these property management were taken to account for disportioncate and unfair charges.
The biggest con perpetratored on the British people and it's legal, This was dreamed up by the rich to take money from the poor.
is blackmail,, or you keep silence or we don t solve the problem,, congratulation .....
How can anyone buy a house from Taylor Wimpey ever again.
Hard these days to find companies that take pride in their work.
And why not to work directly to abolish the whole leashold system instead of making fools from people by taking years and decades to bring new and new legislation that will do very little for leasholders? If you are really commited you will work directly how to abolish the whole silly idea of leasehold.
All these rules are out of date.. more like robbery the little pps from big land owner
The poor pay and the rich reap the rewards.
Paying council tax and maintenance fees we pay and get no help.The council blames the landlords and landlords blame the council so who ends up doing the work and paying for it the leaseholder.
Feeble updates will not do.
If Labour don't come up with the right answer's then they could be a one term Government.
The problem is that this mess was created by the Tories whom a lot are landlords so love the system being this way so they get to screw people over as usual!
A lot of angry people complaining about paying for work that needs doing that someone needs to do?? - if you live in a block of flats the management fees are even higher. it’s the council not Barratt that should be spoken to as council tax is being paid. The govt wants more property built so should account for maintenance of the land! If I move into a home like this my first move is contacting local govt to appeal them refusing to maintain the land.
Yes but the problem is that a lot of builders such as Barrats are NOT I repeat NOT making it clear that these fees are being charged and that they do not apply to all new build homes in the UK regardless of who builds them. Plus in many cases the work paid for is not carried out at all.
the next scandal will be the estate charges that are placed on newbuilds with even less protections than leaseholders, the whole system is broken
This subject is gaining more publicity nationwide 👍
The one good thing that this lot could reform is this act. It will benefit the proprietor rather than the leaseholder if done correctly
i bought my flat eleven years ago, the plan was to sell and move on when my son finished school, that came and went, it's hard enough selling a retirement flat, it's harder when the service charge is high, it's harder still when the management company has an awful reputation, but now it's been made even harder thanks to advertising all this wthi the leasehold reform bill - it needs to be fixed, i haven't had a viewing for at least two years and now the reform bill is being messed around i shall probably die before i can move (i'm 70 and would really like to not be living in croydon thanks very much) this has become an open prison for me. i;m not surprised gove back peddled on his promises, and really i;m not surprised taht labour are dicking about - that's why i voted green this time.
But when how more do we need to wait ?
Leasehold is getting a mortgage to live in a flat that u don’t ever own. It’s the biggest scandal ever! I wish I stuck to renting the flat instead because I would have more options and freedom. I have cancer and am stuck in a nightmare of charges and the freeholder takes zero responsibility of repairs to the building and expect me to pay for a building they legally own!!! I just want to scream
What a scam.
ua-cam.com/video/ocQ_jvYvU9s/v-deo.htmlsi=hjj-nPwMyhz1Cp4a
Should ban leasehold
Quality over quantity simple
Imagine getting a bill for 8 grand to repair a building that isnt even yours 🤦
Most childish democracy in the Western world. Degenerate nation.
Leaseholds are an anachronism left over from Feudalism. Time it was gone.
