The govt deliberately hid tests it commissioned pre #Grenfell that showed #cladding was dangerous & flammable.

The govt then engaged in deceit & cover-up post Grenfell.

It is now time for the govt to pay a hefty compensation to ALL its victims of the #BuildingSafetyCrisis.

The chain of cover-ups that led to Grenfell - UnHerd. ⁦@PeteApps⁩ whose book is excellent. Points out here the attempts by government POST Grenfell to claim the cladding on the building had been ‘banned’. Proven not true by the ban later announced unherd.com/newsroom/the-c…

.@HomeBuildersFed who know full well the quality of new build homes is so poor & so dangerous that lenders won't touch them with a barge pole.
Instead of squeezing taxpayers & leaseholders for obscene profits for your rogue members, do your job & build safe, quality homes.

Mortgage availability and pricing are often less favourable for new build homes than for older properties. Some lenders do not offer mortgages on new builds, while others provide less competitive terms, particularly for apartments. As a result, higher deposits are often required and many households are blocked from buying energy-efficient new homes. Your First Home provides an opportunity to address this, though the detail will be crucial.

This is a scam. New-builds have dangerous safety defects that BUYERS will have to pay for, running into 10s of 1000s of £s. You won't be able to sell, & will run into negative equity.
It's been cooked up by Mr Burnham to funnel taxpayer money to corrupt developers. Don't buy it!

Let's be honest.

A lot of young people have stopped believing they'll ever own their own home.

That's what happens when rents are high, house prices are high, and saving for a deposit feels impossible.

My Labour government is stepping in to help.

With Your First Home, first-time buyers will be able to buy a new-build home with a deposit of just 2.5%.

Because hard work and saving should count for something.

And because the dream of owning your own home shouldn't belong only to those with help from the bank of Mum and Dad.

As @UKLabour & @andyburnham side with rogue developers over innocent #leaseholders,there's only one thing that will work: Hit these companies where it hurts, their pockets.
Politicians & cos have left victims to bear the cost of the #BuildingSafetyCrisis. Let's return the favour.

Housebuilders are offering to pay buyers’ estate agent fees in a desperate attempt to offload luxury new-builds.

Oakley, a developer in Sussex, said it would cover the costs as an incentive for buying an apartment at the Argentum development in Hove, according to an email seen by The Telegraph.
