Adriatic Land and other freeholders ‘acting like robbers’, Commons told

Sir Peter Bottomley writes: I have just raised leasehold abuse with Sajid Javid, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, in the UK House of Commons chamber: “To get the supply and demand into balance, Mr Speaker, that requires successful developers and confident buyers. Will my Rt Hon friend get in the owners […]

Leasehold houses expose ‘gulf between the letter and the spirit of the law’, say ministers

  So far, ministers are showing no sign of a wobble in criticising housebuilders for fleecing their customers with leasehold houses. “Both the Secretary of State Sajid Javid MP and the Housing Minister Gavin Barwell MP have been looking closely at the issue of leasehold houses and escalating ground rents,” the DCLG tells a leaseholder […]

£3m Grenfell cladding bills fall on residents at Lendlease’s Cypress Place and Vallea Court

The property tribunal last week dumped the cost of removing Grenfell cladding on the residents at Cypress Place and Vallea Court in Manchester’s Green Quarter, which were built by Australian builder Lendlease. And Vallea Court pays for the “waking watch” fire marshals. In addition, the tribunal declined to issue a section 20c order, which means […]
