Description: George's home has been without hot water or heating for more than six months and his wife is recovering from major surgery.

The developer of their block has since gone into liquidation, leaving the companies involved unable to agree who should pay to fix problems with the gas pipes.

Now George, 31, says he's been told to pay a lump sum of almost £4000 in service charges -including a “debt collection fee” of £1,000 - within a day.

Grangeford says the leaseholders are in “in breach of lease” for not paying their service charges - which residents deny. It has not responded to requests for comment.

Description: Cardiac nurse receives a life-changing kidney transplant thanks to her manager's donation.

After giving birth to her son, Charis was diagnosed with a kidney condition and told she would eventually need a transplant - her sister volunteered to donate but wasn't a match. Then Charis' team manager, Emma, tested to see if she could donate without telling Charis.

Emma wasn't a direct match for Charis, but she was a suitable candidate for kidney donation which meant that Emma & Charis could pair up for the NHS Living Kidney Sharing Scheme, which matches donor-recipient pairs with others in the same situation. Charis & Emma were matched with another pair of donors and recipients who were in the same position as them, and within seven months, in July 2025, the transplant took place at Hammersmith Hospital.

We look at the pressures facing the market, from higher borrowing costs and changing lifestyles to service charges, leasehold issues and concerns about the condition of some buildings.
