1. Write to your MP regularly: MPs get hundreds of emails a day. If you and your neighbours don’t keep your MP informed about what is – or isn’t – happening at your development, they may think that matters are progressing smoothly and that they do not need to act. You can quickly email your MP using this online tool: Write to Them

2. Tell your story: Following the publication of the Grenfell Inquiry final report, and the Government’s full response to the report, there is renewed media interest in the cladding and building safety scandal. If you are open to speaking to the media, please use the link below to provide your contact details.

3. Write a letter to the editor: Letters pages are a great way to reach a wide audience and let everyone know that the building safety crisis is far from over. Tip: Keep your letter short and concise (max. 300 words) – shorter letters have a better chance of being published – and use plain language.

4. Contact MHCLG: If you need to raise any issues with MHCLG related to the developer contract – including issues with your building owner or managing agent – please email building.safety@communities.gov.uk

For all other issues, please use MHCLG’s contact form and remember to include the following details:

– your full address and postcode

– the height of your building or number of storeys (if known and relevant)

– an overview of the issues you are facing (please attach any relevant documentation)

– any previous correspondence reference numbers you have from correspondence with the department or its ministers

5. Are you a ‘non-qualifying’ leaseholder? If so, we strongly recommend that you join the dedicated Facebook group that has been set up to campaign on behalf of leaseholders excluded from protections under the Building Safety Act.

6. Are you a shared owner or former shared owner? If so, you can join the Shared Owners’ Network, a network of shared owners and former shared owners campaigning to make their homes affordable and their landlords accountable.

7. Are you trying to sell or remortgage? James, a fellow leaseholder who has been caught up in the building safety crisis, is crowdsourcing information on leasehold mortgages. Please submit your story to his site, as this will help to create a useful resource for anyone who is attempting to sell or remortgage. The insights will also help to inform our discussions with government officials and other stakeholders, so we can push for more action to open up the market and help leaseholders move on with their lives.
