Please continue to use the website www.monmouthaid.co.uk so we can:
πŸ™‹ ASK FOR HELP
Let us help you and get you in the system. What do you need and where are you? Independent Business or resident? Are you insured or not? We're still receiving requests for aid and can either help straight away or refer you to the right agency and follow you through.
πŸ’ͺ VOLUNTEER
Be on the centralised list and ready to be deployed where needed. Please include your availability over the coming week and your phone number – this really helps save us coming back to you! What can you help with?
πŸ“¦ DONATE LARGE ITEMS
We're managing large household items and electricals and urgently need: Fridge Freezers, Washing Machines, Tumble Dryers, Sofas, Curtains, and Kitchen Electrics.
We are working with lots of local independent businesses and people offering a variety of aid – let's keep this local and together.
⚑ SAFETY FIRST
PAT tests are being carried out (free of charge from independent local businesses!) on all electricals prior to redistribution, making sure donations are safe, checked and fit for purpose.
🚐 DRIVERS WITH VANS AND CAPACITY NEEDED
We need more drivers with vans and capacity to transport items to and from our storage units (donated by local independent businesses!).
Please use the website so we can collect, organise and help safely! 😊
It's overwhelming what has been achieved already, but also what lies ahead of us all!

🌍 Big changes are on the horizon for property ownership in England and Wales! The government is proposing to make commonhold the default way of owning homes, which could significantly reshape the housing market. Unlike traditional leasehold arrangements, commonhold allows homeowners to be freeholders of their flats, managing shared spaces collectively without third-party landlords. If these plans go through, new-build flats will primarily be sold as commonhold, giving residents more control but also presenting new challenges for developers and investors.

For developers, this shift means rethinking revenue streams as traditional income sources like ground rents diminish. The White Paper introduces innovative solutions, such as creating separate sections within developments to manage mixed-use properties more effectively. This ensures that even complex projects remain viable and attractive for investment. Overall, these reforms aim to promote fairness, transparency, and community empowerment in property ownership. To learn more about how commonhold could impact investors and developers, check out the full article here: https://thepropertydrop.co.uk/what-commonhold-means-for-investors-and-developers/.

The government’s proposed shift from leasehold to commonhold ownership could reshape the property market β€” giving homeowners greater control while creating new challenges and opportunities for developers and investors.
