If your landlord is looking to ‘regenerate’ your estate, it will often result in the demolition of homes and the selling-off of all or parts of your estate to make room for expensive homes for sale or rent. It frequently results in – damage to existing communities, council tenants and leaseholders having to move elsewhere and loss of council homes for future generations.

This briefing sets out seven reasons to beware of landlord estate regeneration plans including the fact that since 1997, research suggests that 55,000 homes on 166 London council estates have either been demolished or are at threat of demolition.

The briefing was also produced for Estate Watch
