Held hostage in 'affordable' #SharedOwnership #leaseholdscandal - charged thousands for #wakingwatch and defective #cladding caused by corrupt UK Government

Pinned

"Affordable" housing associations charging shared ownership leaseholders for #wakingwatch and fixing non compliant #cladding. These are not "repairs" - it was a defect in the first place. @RobertJenrick @mhclg @ukcag @CladdingScandal #EndOurCladdingScandal


. @British_Airways I'm getting married in <24hrs and our #luggage #delay in #BER since yesterday, so we've no groom suit and no wedding dress. #BA staff forced us to check in hand luggage but plane left without it. Tracking shows bags not found. #Wedding ruined - or can you help?

This is rather the point. The gov have no right to cancel previous build regu approval and re-evaluate safety levels, unless they agree culpability and cover costs. If they do, as they are trying to do, that is a fundamental breakdown of rule of law and morally abhorrent.

The Building Safety Bill forces costs to leaseholders and reevaluates recently completed building safety levels. Neither is acceptable without Gov covering ALL COSTS. The BSB / Act must not pass.

So, you admit Gov did fail to regulate so why are we (or the developers) to pay ? It‘s Gov fault. So pay. And why did you relax the regs under 18m yet still require remediation ? We won’t pay loans. We won’t rest.


CladdingPrisoner reposted

PAS9980 is not acceptable as it contradicts current and previous building regulations. It is also vague and another open cheque opportunity for the fire industry. And the cost implications of this will be major. We, leaseholders WILL NOT PAY. PAS9980 will makes things worse.


CladdingPrisoner reposted

A few more facts about the cladding crisis are: 1. The building industry does not have the capacity to remediate the cladding in anything less than 20+ years. 2. Leaseholders cannot possibly pay for the remediation. No way. 3. Why does HMG. not wake up to these impossibilities?


CladdingPrisoner reposted

Amid a flurry of coverage of the misery being caused by the cladding scandal this week, I think it's worth explaining that this problem comes from 30 years of building regulation failure and the fact that the government has not taken responsibility for that (thread)


.@michaelgove please listen to @cyrilmoseley he knows what he is talking about

Let's see what we know about this situation. 1. Cladding is low fire risk. 2. Any risk from the cladding that does exist can easily be mitigated by sprinklers. 3.Sprinklers have a 94% reliability factor & 99% effectiveness factor. 4. Sprinklers will usually extinguish a fire

1. Advice notes Dec 2018 and Jan 2020 2. They haven’t for under 18m. The ‘banned‘ materials still comply with building regulations for a new building Yes, it’s utterly absurd and a clear scam Gov are incompetent and don’t even hide it.

“Days away from a fire”. That’s what I was told this week. I’ve been reading with horror about the #BuildingSafetyCrisis and here is my experience(s) of ongoing negligence from property developers: liammckinnon.com/2021/11/buildi… #EndOurCladdingScandal

Governments past and present caused the #claddingscandal, nobody else. If developers built buildings that are now considered dangerous, it's because the government regulations (or lack of enforcement of them) allowed it to happen. Now UK gov must pay for its mistakes.


CladdingPrisoner reposted

2. Few cladding fires in thousands of tower blocks over many years must indicate the risk is at the lower end of the spectrum. 3.Cladding does not self- combust, it must be ignited. 4. If fires in flats are confined or extinguished before they reach cladding, risk is mitigated


CladdingPrisoner reposted

Hi Jack, I emailed Michael Gove in his capacity as Housing Minister and pointed out a few factors for him to consider, if he really is looking for a new approach to the cladding fiasco. I have listed these below. 1. No attempt has been made to quantify the cladding risk. .......


CladdingPrisoner reposted

Actually the opposite to what’s just happened. Cladding Scandal - They introduced retrospective legislation to MAKE us liable Paterson Scandal - They introduce legislation to REMOVE Paterson from liability.


CladdingPrisoner reposted

Anxiety may be unnecessary in respect of fire risk, but it most certainly isn't as far as costs are concerned. HMG. could resolve this whole issue in about an hour if only one of them could acquire a second brain cell.


#PolluterPaysBill - if the developer did NOT breach regulations at the time of construction (eg. timber cladding <18m was, and still is compliant) but EWS1 etc now requires it to be replaced, what happens? (Genuine question) @EOCS_Official @LiamSpender


CladdingPrisoner reposted

No grants either. This is government’s problem and government must pay and organise. They have let US down and we are angry.

Leaseholders have been batting on the wrong wicket. Unsafe cladding , faulty installation and safety Bills should be nothing to do with them. They are in the game because leasehold law allows developers to pass on the costs of design changes to them. LAW is the wicket for them.
