Anon at 14:06 on 17th October, apologies for pontificating, but I have 35 years in residential conveyancing and have seen first hand the practices I referred to. You correctly say that such people should be sued for negligence. You are somewhat naive in thinking that such practices did not happen. I am not sure what relevance Hampton Court has to the first time buyers who bought these small starter homes with such unreasonable rents. The developers have made money selling the houses, and then made a further profit selling the freehold reversion to unscrupulous ground rent purchasers. There are many buyers who have now found themselves unable to sell their properties. They have suffered loss and should be compensated. Please tell me if you would have bought such a home: if not, why not?
