I believe the ship is still sailing tbf, prob hasn’t left dock, with new-builds generally speaking.

'..You're running the risk of sounding a little pathetic.'

That ship has sailed!

Sorry you feel that way. Personally I think it’s an underreported issue, that I’ve only just discovered. No way I’d ever buy new build with uncapped annual management charges in the TP1. Hope they change the laws on that one

Big mortgage lender, Lloyds, expects house prices to fall 2-4% this year.


"as we begin 2024, consumers are feeling uncertain. Inflation, war, and geopolitical uncertainty dominate the narrative, while interest rates remain high and real incomes remain low. "

"The squeeze on available cash and uncertainty that consumers are facing will both likely moderate the price potential homebuyers are willing to pay for a property at the moment. This will result in a smaller housing market in 2024, and we expect house prices to fall between 2% and 4% this year."

Hmmm, I disagree…

At the end of the day do you really want uncapped unregulated management fees on a freehold, combined with half speed internet and paper walls? Yes of course, but surely at the right price ?

[kreature] 03/2/2024 00:15

Uncapped unregulated estate management fees is um well? You decide. Guidance is usually to link the fees to The UK retail price index, but that’s only guidance, Got to read the TP1 before signing right ?

[kreature] 02/2/2024 23:18

Well, I prefer new builds but I think the asking prices need to reflect the intrusion of estate management into the TP1 freehold. Therefore I think a 90% discount on current asking prices would seem reasonable to me.

Page 5.

‘ Homeowners have also raised concerns around the impact of estate management arrangements on their ability to sell their home, on the value of their home, and on their ability to get a mortgage. Uncapped charges may deter future homebuyers, or finance companies may refuse to lend because of uncapped charges.’

Page 61 lol

‘ Currently, freeholders who pay service charges in England and Wales do not have the equivalent statutory rights as leaseholders to challenge unreasonable service’

[beckers2008] 01/2/2024 16:15

Sikhthetech,

Especially for you.
Will the new FD, if they find one, answer the impairment charge question?

"Totally plc (AIM: TLY), a leading provider of frontline healthcare services, corporate fitness and wellbeing services across the UK and Ireland, announces that the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Lisa Barter, has decided to step down from her role with effect from 1st February 2024"

She's resigned with immediate effect!
No other way to put it... looks like TLY are in a whole lot of trouble.

I thought the experts here said there would be a rate cut ?

2 BOE still looking to increase…..and boats doing three point turns, minimum wage up 10% in April, wars etc

[kreature] 01/2/2024 15:35

….the EMC can prob put their new build estate management fees up their Persimmon.

[kreature] 01/2/2024 15:26

That fleecehold estate management fee looks like an unregulated scam at first glance? Any thoughts. No limit as to how much it can go up by. Should all be worried really cos if the fees go up on social housing I guess the regular council tax will have to increase to pay for it?

[kreature] 01/2/2024 15:20

Estate management fees on new builds being labelled’fleecehold’ with usually no cap or limit as to how much they can be increased by. Looks horrific tbf

[sikhthetech] 01/2/2024 12:45

As expected BoE kept interest rates unchanged.

Crucially 2 members still voted for an increase.
The BoE Governor expects inflation to increase later this year.
