After ground rents and cladding … now lenders won’t touch rip-off ‘fleecehold’ properties either, BBC reports

November 21, 2019 By Admin3 2 Comments

By Harry Scoffin Mortgage lenders refusing to issue loans on freehold houses blighted by rip-off ‘fleecehold’ charges condemn families desperate to move – divorce, death, debt – to staying put.

The meeting was hosted by MPs Sir Peter Bottomley and Jim Fitzpatrick, and chaired by Martin Boyd, of LKP. It included presentations from Phillip Rainey, QC, of Tanfield Chambers, […]

Roger Southam, the head of property manager Chainbow and chairman of the Leasehold Advisory Service, is to surrender control of Mulberry Mews, in north London, to the leaseholders.

Ground rent scandals

Taylor Wimpey rejects responsibility to resale buyers facing doubling ground rents

Taylor Wimpey has rejected any responsibility to purchasers of resold Taylor Wimpey properties that have doubling ground rents. Such buyers can deal with the investment company directly to buy the freehold title, and take up any issues with their conveyancing solicitors. Pete Redfern has responded to a homebuyer who bought a Taylor Wimpey property from […]

Who are Dublin-based Boardwalk Finance DAC and Jetty Finance DAC? Why do they own freeholds to people’s homes? And why are they based abroad?

Who are Dublin-based Boardwalk Finance DAC and Jetty Finance DAC? Why do they own freeholds to people’s homes? And why are they based abroad? Boardwalk Finance DAC and Jetty Finance DAC, which share the same offices in Dublin, emerge as large scale owners of UK residential freeholds, according to the Guardian today. Jetty Finance DAC […]

Leaked Taylor Wimpey document showing doubling ground sales TODAY is “an oversight”

A leaked Taylor Wimpey document says that it is still selling flats with doubling ground rents but it is “an oversight” and “incorrect”, according to CEO Pete Redfern. Translation: This is an unaccountable blunder contradicting everything Taylor Wimpey has told MPs and press about its ground rent policy. The document, dated December 2016, clearly states […]

Grenfell cladding

Brokenshire wrongly says freeholders have paid for Grenfell cladding removal

Communities Secretary James Brokenshire told the Commons yesterday that freeholders had paid up to remove Grenfell cladding from private blocks. He was replying to a parliamentary question from Hilary Benn concerning astronomic Grenfell cladding costs at Saxton and Skyline Apartments in his Leeds constituency. Mr Brokenshire should understand that the developers who have paid up […]

Tchenguiz group dismisses government ‘hollow threat’ to make freeholders pay for Grenfell cladding removal

But hints that it would have liked to help, if only the ‘existential threat’ of leasehold reforms were dropped … The Tchenguiz organisation has said that the government should stop demanding that freeholders pay to remove Grenfell cladding from 272 private apartment blocks. It is a “hollow threat and it knows it”, says William Kenneth […]

LKP and Bottomley at Number 10 to reverse flawed reform of recognised tenants’ associations

LKP chair Martin Boyd and Sir Peter Bottomley attended a meeting at Number 10 yesterday to urge government to overturn its flawed statutory instrument to reform recognised tenants’ associations. The MHCLG announced changes in October and made the existing arrangements even worse for leaseholders. The key hurdle faced by leaseholders is to contact their leasehold-owning […]
