Service charges rise concerning residents across the West People across the West explain how the charges on their buildings are affecting their finances.

"Not everyone has welcomed the changes, with the Residential Freeholders Association accusing the government on an attack on leasehold system".

Sorry, thought we were in 2026, not 1066! #Fleecehold

Time to shear the UK housing market of the dreaded ‘fleecehold’ Estate management charges can leave buyers of new-built homes with unforeseen costs as they pay annually for maintenance

New-build homeowners face hidden #fleecehold fees, paying ongoing charges for roads, drains, and shared spaces.

A home should mean freedom. Let’s build communities owned and governed by the people who live in them!

Last week, I spoke in Parliament on behalf of leaseholders let down by our broken system.

Too many see a revolving door of housing managers, unfamiliar with building history, inexperienced and unqualified.

We need stronger regulation and real accountability.

#fleecehold indeed

The leasehold system is long overdue a proper shake up.

AND, the PRIVATISATION BY STEALTH not talked about enough:
Increasing failure to adopt roads, green spaces and drainage on new estates – leaving people paying double to private companies and through council tax for maintenance of the public realm.

Now listening to the #LDConf debate on #fleecehold (#leasehold) in England. London Cllr reports on people left with unsellable, uninsurable properties sold by developers who go bankrupt, shut down their co then set up a new Co & start building homes again 😱 #housing

Biggest issue FTB s encounter is AFTER they have moved in &realise their affordability isn't what theyd hoped
New build flats and houses often carry #leasehold & #fleecehold fees not always considered by lenders setting them up to fail financially @nlc-movement.bsky.social @eocs-official.bsky.social

Thousands of people living in new homes in Milton Keynes are being 'fleeced' of money, claim MPs The city’s three Labour MPs have hit out at exploitive 'fleecehold' arrangements that mean people living on new estates pay large sums to management companies.

Not true. Often it's embedded in the deeds that the LA will not adopt. It's a second income stream. It's like paying council tax twice. Its a scam #Fleecehold

London leaseholders call for service charge reform Leasehold reforms can't come soon enough, London homeowners facing thousands in fees tell BBC News.
