I'm desperate to get out but trapped in a #BuildingSafetyCrisis unsellable flammable cladding flat... 😵‍💫

Will there be meaningful change on the key issues of non-cladding defects, non-qualifying leaseholders, extortionate buildings insurance or shared ownership buybacks in 2026?

We aren’t holding our breath.

Major fires still a risk under 'spineless' new safety law, construction boss warns David Jones believes it will permit too many risks, but the government calls it a proportionate approach.

❌ Serious fire risks assessed as being "tolerable", homes left half-safe at best.

❌ The Government deflects to industry, flats remain unsellable, leaseholders are still trapped.

The merry-go-round of buck-passing continues.

Building Safety Regulator delays leaving leaseholders in stressed and in limbo The Building Safety Regulator's issues have left leaseholders waiting nine months for works. It could also impact Labour's 1.5m-home target.

🗨️ “It’s really stressful, it’s really upsetting.

It’s now been six years and I’ve lost track of how many times we’ve been told that it’s progressing or it’s moving along and still nothing’s happened."

Is Labour betraying cladding victims to meet its housing targets? By prioritising building houses over building safety, the government is ignoring its own post-Grenfell promises — and putting lives at risk

Despite strong rhetoric in opposition, Labour’s commitment to building safety is increasingly in doubt.

This drift typifies Labour’s approach so far: governing by targets rather than delivering the change voters expected.

Today I asked the Deputy Mayor what he's doing to resolve the #buildingsafetycrisis in East Village. I'll be following up on his offer of a proper meeting to discuss how we fix this for suffering leaseholders.

1️⃣ year today since the "Remediation Acceleration Plan" announcement.

The only "change" leaseholders have seen is a new Housing Secretary and Minister for Building Safety.

MHCLG are still dragging their feet.

Labour are still far from keeping their manifesto promises.

🆕 BREAKING NEWS

We won❗🎉

The Government has finally accepted Lord Young's amendment to the Renters' Rights Bill.

Shared owners who are accidental landlords will be exempt from the 12-month ban on reletting if their sale falls through.

#BuildingSafetyCrisis

Looks like another #BuildingSafetyCrisis compartmentation failure. The fire has spread across all the dwellings on the top floor.

I'm guessing from the architecture it is a '90s, or later, building.

Why have home buyers fallen out of love with flats? A growing number of flat owners are being forced to sell their homes for less than they paid for them, as appetite for single-storey homes appears to wane.

''Flats often come with some off putting factors. (...) This is particularly the case due to cladding issues"

"Service charges are also reaching terrifying levels in some apartment blocks across major cities."

Nothing will solve the housing crisis until the #BuildingSafetyCrisis is fixed, which will take decades and decades. Tens of thousands of first-time buyers are still trapped in unsafe, unsellable flats which is still paralysing the first rung of the housing ladder.

London’s Olympic Village faces £432mn bill for fire safety defects Estate management company increased provision by £337mn after discovering new faults

Well there you have it folks one development in London facing a £432mil #BuildingSafetyCrisis headache

This is why I’ve said the £5.6bn govuk building safety fund was inadequate.

At least 91,000 new affordable homes could be built with cladding money, social housing providers say The National Audit Office thinks it will have to spend £3.8bn in total to remove non-ACM, combustible cladding on buildings over 11m high. New research suggests that's the cost-equivalent of building ...

We support equal access to funding for social housing providers but we need them to focus on supporting residents, making homes safe, and treating people like shared owners with a lot more respect.

Grenfell-linked companies received £355m in contracts since the fire Seven organisations involved in the deadly refurbishment of Grenfell Tower face possible exclusion from public contracts, the government has said in its response to the public inquiry.

Sadly disaster is big business - #BuildingSafetyCrisis is only eclipsed by #asbestosis

Sadly those tainting campaign or political lobbying group, have deep pockets vs independent:

📺 Angela Rayner said this week that anyone living in an unsafe home was one person too many.

But her government continues to rule thousands of leaseholders out of any help to fix fire safety defects.
