🆕 The Lords voted to add a statutory review of shared ownership to the Social Housing Bill. As expected, @mtpennycook has now tabled a Government amendment to remove it. Another missed opportunity to listen to shared owners. ❌ 1. 🧵

Your regular reminder that, if you’re a shared owner, you have no option to challenge the rent increases you’re required to pay. Your rent will continue to rise above RPI every year.

A review could inform future policy, but it wouldn’t resolve the urgent problems shared owners face today. The Bill is an opportunity to act now: we need buyback funding for SO homes that are unmortgageable or unaffordable. It’s not too late to write to the Bill committee ⬇️ 2

👀 @UKLabour ministers don’t want scrutiny. They just want to keep funding shared ownership newbuilds. Exhibit A.

Why @mtpennycook asked to remove it? So many s/o owners are suffering from being mis-sold and now notbeing able to sell due to fire safety issues.

And it's covered in ACM. Completed in 2012 for Origin Housing. Scaffolding up 8 years later. Places for People took over Origin in 2024. They've been allocated £300m in taxpayer funding for new homes. Build, baby, build @AngelaRayner @mtpennycook ❓️ acm-cladding-records.co.uk/r…

Screenshot from Places for People's Annual Report 2025. It says: DELIVERING AFFORDABLE HOMES We delivered affordable homes in multiple tenures, benefiting Communities across the UK. By year end, we had delivered 1,764 affordable homes, representing a 32% increase from 2023/24 (1,341 homes). Our 2021-26 strategic partnership with Homes England strengthened, providing homes for affordable rent, social rent and shared ownership. Exceeding our targets, we completed 663 homes under the strategic partnership during the year and began to construct 1,732. We also secured an additional £18.6m in grant funding to deliver a further 256 homes. This brings total grant funding to £300m for the delivery of 4,659 homes by March 2029. As part of our 2018/19 strategic partnership with Homes England, we completed 422 homes bringing the total to 2,303. There are now just 300 homes left to build to meet our overall target of 2,603 homes, utilising £87.5m of grant.

"The building is owned and run by Places for People, the UK’s biggest housing association. It contains seven social rent flats and 18 shared ownership properties targeted for London’s key workers." @angelarayner @mtpennycook Who is holding these landlords to account?

SIX YEARS of scaffolding. Remediation still hasn't started ⬇️ Places for People blame the Building Safety Regulator, omitting that their plans have failed to demonstrate fire safety compliance. The blame game continues. Residents, leaseholders and shared owners remain trapped.

And yet, to exit this government-backed scheme, you have to find someone willing to buy your share, knowing you’d be passing the same financial trap on to them. How unethical is that, @mtpennycook?

The Remediation Bill, as it stands, will not deliver the change that shared owners need. Over half of our members are trapped in the building safety crisis. Some are going bankrupt. We cannot support the Bill in its current form. @AngelaRayner @mtpennycook @FloEshalomi

The Remediation Bill is here. We cannot support it in its current form. Nearly a decade after Grenfell, innocent people are still paying for others’ failures. Labour must turn words into action: make homes fully safe and hold those responsible to account. Our statement ⬇️

A new report by the Leasehold Advisory Service has revealed a “breakdown in the relationship between shared owners and those responsible for managing their home”.
