Feeling some love & positivity for the lockdown. Loving how quiet & clean the air is around town. Amazing. Loving hearing the voices of neighbours in their gardens all down the road. People seem more open and friendly, remembering what it is to not just be busy for busy’s sake.

Homeowners could get up to £50,000 for shoddy building work under new ombudsman £50k cap on Legal Ombudsman scheme too. Their average payout is...£350 Will this be any different? Once you’ve waited a year to get nothing, you’ll be back to having to sue. https://t.co/Ki5fdFMwaq

Seems like if you’re a property developer you can: Build a property that is 1) riddled with physical problems 2) clad in flammable material 3) marketed as owned when it’s leased 4) fail to clearly explain future £charges - and it’s tough luck (and your own fault) @RobertJenrick

Excellent news. I have no doubt that your report on cladding will be as damning as your report on #leaseholdscandal. The fact that those with cladding are highly likely to be leaseholders illustrates all that is wrong with leasehold @NLC_2019 @cattwil @LKPleasehold https://t.co/UiNAkBnb8p
