The housebuilding industry is so broken, with bad practice, misselling, corruption, greed, incompetence, no enforced standards of quality aided and abetted by the government policy of numbers built, no Minister is prepared to disrupt it to put it right. Sad but true.

Anyone buying a home MUST do their due diligence and see what the risk is of becoming a mortgage prisoner whether, it be flooding, leasehold or shared ownership Flooding may make half a million households ‘mortgage prisoners’ by 2050 https://t.co/6RbGefwsQy

Today marks 105 months since the Grenfell fire — a tragedy that showed what happens when profit is put before people. Dirty Business on C4 is a stark reminder that systems allowing dangerous shortcuts and weak oversight cost lives. Remember Grenfell. Demand accountability.

@moving_charlie You should pick your conveyancer yourself - even if you think the referral fee is reasonable who is the conveyancer going to be afraid of upsetting? The one who pays their bill or the hand that feeds them?

@SteveReedMP You've currently failed in your job to end the #BuildingSafetyCrisis, by cosying up to the construction industry that built dangerous homes & forcing their innocent victims to pay mentally & financially, for their wrongdoings. Stand up for the victims or we will vote you out.
