Our Mission

To put a stop to the use of the private estate model as a means of exploiting estate residents and delivering sub standard estates. Our aim is to abolish privately managed estates which are publicly accessible in favour of adoption by the public authorities.

Although we offer our members moral support, we are not qualified to give legal advice so cannot help in this way.

We encourage everyone to help each other by supporting the aims in our mission.

Who are We??

We are a group of ordinary home owners who feel exploited by their respective land management companies on privately owned managed estates with charges. We were initially put in touch with each other either by the Home Owners Alliance or the Greenbelt Action Group. Our co-ordinators are Halima Ali and Cathy Priestley.

We feel that isolation is a problem for home owners and that a network for mutual support and exchange of information initially would help home buyers who find themselves inadvertently in this trap. We are campaigning for a change in the law to offer us protection and redress and ultimately scrap this model being used for residential properties.

We began with this site and a private Facebook group for discussions (April 2016). People who prefer not to use Facebook can comment on The Buzz articles in public.  Please subscribe to our newsletter or simply contact us to let us know you are out there.

Strength in numbers has succeeded in raising the profile of the issue and our voice is growing louder!

By 18th July 2026 we have over 13,300 supporters in our Facebook group and 1069 estates on our database representing over 245600 households.
