ACCL Membership

Membership is open to everyone who exercised their right to buy, or any member of that person's household or to anyone who has bought a Leasehold property which was originally purchased under the Right to Buy legislation.

As a pressure group ACCL is committed to getting a better deal from our Landlord over maintenance, repairs and capital works as well as all round value-for-money service. Leaseholders face major problems with estimating and charging for services and repairs.

Camden does not have an accurate property database or a comprehensive system for recording work carried out to property by its different departments, let alone a computer system capable of handling all the information necessary for managing our homes. This mis-management results in poor service, shoddy work and excessive bills.

A major Capital Works programme of re-furbishment to Council Housing is being promoted by Central government. This is increasing the complexity and the cost of schemes for which Leaseholders are expected to pay but over which we are rarely adequately consulted.
