Cladding victims face 40pc loss as they're forced to sell homes for cash
Residents must either sell up to cash buyers or wait years for repairs
Campaigners say they are effectively trapped in their homes
Residents in flats with dangerous cladding must wait years for problems to be resolved or face selling their properties at huge losses to cash buyers.
The cladding crisis has swept through the property market and left tens of thousands of homeowners unable to sell their properties, as they do not have certification that proves their buildings are safe. Without this proof, banks will not offer mortgages, blocking the vast majority of would-be buyers from purchasing.
