Stella Creasy MP backs leasehold reform … and Kirstie Allsopp is Tweeting to stop leasehold house sales

July 3, 2017 //  by Sebastian O'Kelly

Stella Creasy singled out leasehold reform on the Andrew Marr Show yesterday. The MP has been active on behalf of leaseholders in her north London constituency

The influential Labour MP Stella Creasy singled out the work of colleagues Jim Fitzpatrick and Sir Peter Bottomley on leasehold reform in an interview with Andrew Marr on BBC TV yesterday.

The MP said reforming leasehold and other social issues were just the tasks MPs should be engaged in during this Parliament. The section can be seen 23 minutes on BBC iPlayer in here 

The weakened government has a limited legislative agenda, and has the mammoth task of sorting Brexit. Many see MP-driven social issues such as leasehold having far more scope for success as a result.

Stella Creasy, the MP for Walthamstow in north London since 2010, has been sympathetic to leasehold issues and has met and corresponded with LKP.

The runner up as deputy Labour leader, she last month persuaded the government to support free abortions on the mainland for Northern Irish women: pregnancy termination in the province being virtually impossible even after cases of rape.

LKP has invited Stella Creasyto join the All Party Parliamentary Group on leasehold reform

On the same day as the Stella Creasy interview, TV property queen Kirstie Allsopp waded into the leasehold houses scandal

Meanwhile, TV property queen Kirstie Allsopp has been Tweeting her support for an end to the leasehold houses racket.

“Government should intervene to prevent a new miss-selling scandal” Kirstie Tweeted yesterday: which LKP re-Tweeted to the housing minister, Taylor Wimpey and assorted housing stakeholders.

    As the civil service may read this website, I wonder why it was decided to require leaseholder victims of Grenfell Tower to personally provide details of their lease to seek help – as mentioned by the housing minister today in the Commons?

    These victims, if alive, escaped with nothing. The government surely has the wit and means to go to the Land Registry and pop in a search for Grenfell Tower and download any leasehold titles it finds there for about 12 quid a pop? The leasehold titles will show up alongside the freehold title against each address, surely? Simples.

    Typical officialdom. Can’t think outside the ‘idiot sheet’ scripts provided.

    Stella Creasy would have been a great Labour leader, mind. Can still dream…

    The Sunday Times today highlight PLC ‘Builders’ attempting to gag buyers over shoddy work! What next – cement boots and threats of “Sleeping with the fishes”? P.4.
