My story is not an unusual one but the law commission took pity on what happened to me during these 25 years and realised they needed to bring some changes in the law to avoid the same abuse happening again , the theft of your home by a legal loophole. 

Your signing will allow the government to finally stop that fraud by signing the law commission proposal. I lost my home  as I asked for insulation and remedy of disrepairs. I should have been entitled to proper ones  and waited until now for above 26 years.  Damages to my health that reduced my lifespan  are added to damages to my home flat. That is why I need to see the  CHANGES IN THE LAW so the same fate won’t happen unfairly again to others and spoil their life. 

The next step that the law commission and the government need to introduce after stopping the fraud is

1. the INSULATION of our homes from dampness, leak, noise, pollution... all that does not allow any human to peacefully enjoy their home but daylight, quietness and good air does. 
2. Each area of housing to have truly accountable department. 
3. Use of the technology and the public health knowledge that are both there. We need from our leaders the will for its use and from us we need to ask for their application, that would be the right cooperation. 

I bought my home when I was not far from 40 y old

In 1995, There was a lot of dampness , unknown disrepairs. I had no share of the freehold (FH) of my home flat.  No voice and No entitlement to insulate and repair my home properly.

In 1996 I rolled up my sleeves and said I will work until I manage to get my share and my entitlement to repairs and insulation

At the end of 2010 I acquired my share and proudly asked for my disrepairs to be tackled properly. 

In the meantime, my health had deteriorated from 2006 and my parents had become elderly  and needed the help of their children. 

In 2011 with the death of my father, my sister and I took in our hands the care of my mother who needed full time care

I was still waiting for my repairs and even offered in 2013 to pay for all of it myself but in 2014 my share of the FH disappeared by a legal loophole 

At the end of 2015 , my mother died, I lost my home flat as I was told by the landlord in 2016 that I had no lease anymore and if I wanted to have it back I would need to pay another 6 figures. 

I had already paid for the lease with the share freehold and was waiting for proper remedies to my disrepairs hoping for, at least, a peaceful end of life in my own space and especially with some quality. There have been patchy repairs and today I could defend myself better, I think, if I was 25 years younger. 

I refuse to sell and I refuse not to have the proper repairs from bad  or inexistant proper building work and I am waiting for damage recognition by influential people. (2014-2021)

That is why your signing is important to allow this to happen and let us ask the government to introduce,  in the housing department, an ethical law for all and not for a few of us.  I would like to dedicate the next few years I have to that effect added to the knowledge I acquired over the years. The next few years won’t be the best and I wished I was already over them. But because below is my wish for the next generations I dont want to give up and will keep on as much as I can. 

my wish For the next generations

Was I asking for the moon ?

or was I asking too soon ?

for my home flat insulation 

to come to a halt of being so poor .

Yes I know that if I had to be living on the moor

it would not make much of a difference 

and it was never the solution

Yet, it would have felt less of a penitence

And perhaps a form of redemption

by breathing the fresh air 

instead of perspiring from despair.

As from A housing right recognition’s struggle 

for more than a quarter of a century

its strife steering you into a muddle

seems like accomplishing 

the implausible feat of reaching eternity

against the landlord’s right of breaching

your rights of life quality 

and long standing quest for equality.

For me, it will never happen 

For you, time has come 

for its reckoning to be given

and for all to feel fine at home.

With Love 

Christine
