Any news on this?

‘ 'My home's freehold isn't worth the paper it's written on' ‘

[kreature] 01/3/2024 19:33

Is there any difference? Blue/red ?

[beckers2008] 29/2/2024 11:45

K,

It is on topic, if Labour win a majority, which they won't, PSN along with all HB's will suffer.

How's your Short from the 10th November going, lol,just lol!

BoE base rate 6%?
Absolutely no chance!

[kreature] 29/2/2024 11:34

Please try to stay on topic. Thank you.

Not only is the Labour Party failing to stop the prevalent 'Antisemitic' behaviour, evidently by the sacking of two proven 'Antisemitic' Labour MP's, Dire Keir is now dealing with a hypocrite...

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has publicly backed his deputy Angela Rayner, who is facing scrutiny over the sale of her former council house and the tax implications.

Ms Rayner, who bought the property under Margaret Thatcher’s right to buy scheme, sold it in 2015 and has been accused of not paying the appropriate capital gains tax.

She has also been challenged over the accuracy of her official documents, which showed two different addresses for her living arrangements.

Desperate ?



Personally I would just cut house prices by 99% , if they weren’t still overvalued after a 99% discount…..

@Porsche1945, you told us to quit UK market a year ago, and sadly I didn’t. US has definitely done better.

I’ll reassess in Summer when I have time, but might well be moving a lot of my UK pension to US shares.

I reckon buyers of most new builds are like lambs to the slaughter, with less rights than leaseholders over escalating management fees

If anyone genuinely gave a hoot, they would maybe standardise the TP1 deeds to exclude all holds over the freeholder

[sikhthetech] 26/2/2024 20:46

The CMA report clearly shows that Estate Management fees are questionable. HBs have gone from onerous ground rents, which were investigated and HBs forced to correct, costing millions, to onerous Estate Management fees.

Not good.

Might not apply to Persimmon, but as I understand in general, you’re typically jointly liable with the other estate residents for the public grass areas and roads that anyone from anywhere can use. So say there’s a drain cover missing that a horse falls into and the rider is injured and the insurance isn’t good enough…. Guess who is liable.

That’s why in my opinion, new estate houses in general with escalating estate charges and public liabilities, have highly questioable values over the long term, unless you have nothing to lose perhaps, or if you just need a place to get out of the snow as a last resort maybe ?

You clearly are the idiot, lol, just lol!

[kreature] 26/2/2024 15:44

Becky, only an idiot would buy a new build house with covenants in the deeds that effectively make the place imv not a freehold. It’s horrible and personally I think the new builds are worth far less than zero due to that, and due to the liabilities attached to the public spaces. IMO, ATB

Ps, I reckon the only thing new builds are good for are social housing where an owner has nothing to lose.

Your lack of clarity speaks volumes.

PSN was £11.49 on 10th November, lol!
Only an idiot would have shorted at that price and when it was clear that interest rates were never going to 6%.

Remember my statement...

BoE base rate at 6%?
Absolutely no chance

[kreature] 26/2/2024 13:48

Tbf, how can new build houses be marketed as ‘freehold̵7; when they are simply and obviously not free from the hold of a management company ? Surely that’s a breach of Consumer Rights ?

[kreature] 26/2/2024 13:26

Don’t worry Becky, this is extremely overpriced imv

[kreature] 26/2/2024 13:24

‘ These charges are often high and unclear to homeowners.’

Very soft report imo, not addressing home owners being bent over a barrel n deeds by management company?. Surely the fact is that the management charges are uncapped and unregulated in law, so you are bent over a barrel? Never mind being unclear, they deeds are totally one sided towards dilution of freedom of hold ……thus having the potential to devalue your home in the future

Imo only

‘ 80% of new homes sold by the eleven biggest builders in 2021 to 2022 subject to estate management charges’

Dear oh dear. Obviously I wouldn’t pay 10p for a new build with such uncapped unregulated estate management charges. They can of course fkright off with their schemes.

[porsche1945] 26/2/2024 12:54

UK listed shares are now known in the city as the “ bug zapper trade “ 😂😂 Does anyone actually buy dosgshyt uk shares anymore really? Stick to S&P trackers and buy growth, dividend dross like this the fast way to lose ( most ) your capital.

Well done Kreature for highlighting Management fees and build quality as major concerns.




Concerns around estate management charges and the build quality of some new homes.
New Competition Act investigation opened into 8 housebuilders following evidence suggesting information sharing.

"The study also found substantial concerns about estate management charges – with homeowners often facing high and unclear charges for the management of facilities such as roads, drainage, and green spaces. Concerns have been found, too, with the quality of some new housing after the number of owners reporting snagging issues increased over the last 10 years."

"Our report – which follows a year-long study – is recommending a streamlining of the planning system and increased consumer protections. If implemented, we would expect to see many more homes built each year, helping make homes more affordable. We would also expect to see fewer people paying estate management charges on new estates and the quality of new homes to increase. But even then, further action may be required to deliver the number of homes Great Britain needs in the places it needs them.

The CMA has also today opened a new investigation into the suspected sharing of commercially sensitive information by housebuilders which could be influencing the build-out of sites and the prices of new homes. While this issue is not one of the main drivers of the problems we’ve highlighted in our report, it is important we tackle anti-competitive behaviour if we find it."


"Private Estate Management: the CMA found a growing trend by developers to build estates with privately managed public amenities – with 80% of new homes sold by the eleven biggest builders in 2021 to 2022 subject to estate management charges. These charges are often high and unclear to homeowners. Whilst the average charge was £350 – one-off, unplanned charges for significant repair work can cost thousands of pounds and cause considerable stress to homeowners. The report highlights concerns that many homeowners are unable to switch estate management providers, receive inadequate information upfront, have to deal with shoddy work or unsatisfactory maintenance, and face unclear administration or management charges which can often make up 50% or more of the total bill.
Quality: housebuilders don’t have strong incentives to compete on quality and consumers have unclear routes of redress. Analysis also suggests that a growing number of homeowners are reporting a higher number of snagging issues (at least 16). The CMA’s consumer research and other evidence revealed that a substantial minority also experienced particularly serious problems with their new homes, such as collapsing staircases and ceilings."
