Any of my leasehold/cladding followers know anyone who’s sold flat at a loss recently who’d be willing to talk - for today’s BBC News coverage of falling house prices - we want to illustrate that that’s mainly due to plummeting flat prices caused by leasehold/building safety.

Grenfell - 72 died from the fire, at least five died by suicide, 11,000 have PTSD, concerns about long term effects of toxicity on residents, 11 firefighters with terminal cancer - plus £1bn spent and rising. That's 'nothing' right?

Cutting red tape costs taxpayers nothing. It’s a common sense solution to get Britain building.

Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith has told the Tory conference that he would "scrap unnecessary net-zero housing red tape" and cut the cost of "delivering and therefore buying a new home by up to £50,000." How would the Tories guarantee that developers pass on these supposed savings to homebuyers? And what about those new-build buyers who want solar panels and heat pumps and lower energy bills? Could cutting the requirement for building them in mean any savings just translated into higher bills for the homeowner?

#Grenfell was 9 years ago. Behind these failed numbers delivered by members of @HomeBuildersFed to fix unsafe homes, there are families trapped and financially stressed. Every building has a number of sad and preventable stories. @EOCS_Official @AngelaRayner @andyburnham @mhclg
End Our Cladding Scandal

Replying to @EOCS_Official @UKLabour
The message is clear: building more homes has been prioritised over making existing homes safe. Despite the missed targets, self-reported data and years of delay, there is still no meaningful change in @mhclg's approach. Warm words. Weak oversight. Unsafe homes.

Leaseholds in my view one of those things we don't talk about nearly enough in Westminster "We will introduce a bill before Christmas for long overdue leasehold reform... the days of you being squeezed for every penny are coming to an end"

🚨NLC Brings Leaseholders' Voices to the Labour Conference I told the panel FTT is not fit for purpose and leasehold reform needs a rocket 🚀 behind it. Leasehold reform is not a London issue. It is a national issue. It is not a party issue. It is a people issue. It's a National Scandal ! @Semakaleng @alistrathern @RNBlake @LabourHousing #LeaseholdScandal

'Hard work and saving should count for something' Unless you buy a defective home. Then you work hard for nothing. Bill after bill, service charge fees on top, no way to sell.
Andy Burnham
@andyburnhamSep 26
Let's be honest. A lot of young people have stopped believing they'll ever own their own home. That's what happens when rents are high, house prices are high, and saving for a deposit feels impossible. My Labour government is stepping in to help. With Your First Home, first-time buyers will be able to buy a new-build home with a deposit of just 2.5%. Because hard work and saving should count for something. And because the dream of owning your own home shouldn't belong only to those with help from the bank of Mum and Dad.

Leaseholders paying a "second mortgage", warn campaigners. It is outrageous that in modern Britain people can pay for a home, be charged endlessly to live in it, and still not own it. This is a national scandal.” @andyburnham #LeaseholdScandal @TheNeg share.google/d6xVRvhDeLZh8pt…

Leaseholders paying a "second mortgage", warn campaigners

Katie Kendrick OBE, Founder of the National Leasehold Campaign, claims leaseholders are paying costs that amount to a "second mortgage".
