Muntin, //Short term lets, say six months, until permanent new homes can be found.//
Sixty-eight of these flats have been bought by the City of London Corporation. They are now council flats that are being allocated to council tenants.
//The owners will presumably get some sort of rent and council tax paid.//
What are you talking about?

I see Naomi has already raised the point I was about to raise, that these flats are intended as permanent homes, not as a short-term solution as Muntin implies.
The flats being purchased are part of the 'affordable quota' from the development, though I am not sure what affordable means in Kensington.

"Social rent" means the rent is around 50 per cent of market rates. "Affordable rent" means about 80 per cent of market rents.
Planning documents show these were to be Social Rent.

Cannot vouch for how that relates to the properties we are discussing but gives an idea.

// During the Blitz, many homes where destroyed in the bombings, but the authorities didn't move out the whole of the East end, simply because that the bombers might come back again. //
good point - goodish point
we have already had somewhere that there were no large scale population movements during the war because that AB sage at the time had forgotten evacuation ( up to three million children moved)
odd - I cant remember how you got the house when you were bombed out during the war - but once you did - you had a replacement grant. That is where the zoopy utility sign came from- utility furniture and you could refurnish a house for £15 - or £25 or whatever the grant was. [ but I can tell you how food ration stamps worked when you went into hospital (EMS) ]

as for the points on negative equity
o god I gartta laff
house prices have gone up as s/o said 4.6% this year in that sector. zoopla Wayneflete Sq W11 which is just near and you can have a cute one bed flat for £500k
Grenfell rd just near also - lovely houses for £1.5m
Negative equity here is just a social construct ( = wot you fink) - no one has made a loss - and there is a 5% loss buffer built in before neg equity comes in and you would have to have a 100% mortgage for that - all these things are a thing of the past.
so you ladies with heaving bzooms over negative equity -
heave not over equity altho I am sure you find something both disgraceful and iniquitous to heave about later on today
[this comment for slow readers was about war time utility furniture and current static house prices in London. fundamental arithmetic reqd for part 2]

Gness - ignore that comment
//Well I for one agree with Naomi. The residents are obviously fearful that their neighbourhood will be trashed. Don't blame them.//
hahaha did someone say this thread is about helping young people live in an expensive area ?
it is much more like a thread about "I dont mind where these people live so long as they are around 24/7 to serve me my usual mocka-chino lattay"
it is a normal daaaaay on AB folks !
