Hmmm - I think it would be fair to say that the impression given by the media is that Grenfell Tower was a bit of a shabby shithole, full of immigrants on Housing benefit. Take a look at this. It's a listing for a 2 bed flat in the Tower, which was available from May 2017. Pretty luxurious by anyone's standards wouldn't you say? [ link to www.rightmove.co.uk] Rent was £395 pw and it clearly says 'No DSS / Housing Benefit Applicants' - somewhat ironic as it was an ex council/social housing block. And again only specific flats were privately owned As far as we've been told. RightMove were just about to run a TV ad campaign for this Tower. More info on link: Thread: Another Look at Grenfell Tower. Not All As Shabby as We've Been Led to Believe! its common for tower blocks to have the odd amount of private rental flats as it is for properties to exist on a rental market average of a normal street. The flats were recently refurbished but private rental clients have a different spec dependant on the landlord requirement. The issue isn't the condition of the flats the issue is more about the way people are treated because of class. The issue is with the fact that critical fire safety materials and resources were absent, gas mains were left unboxed and non fire retarded alongside the only stair case in the block.
The residents had been asking for such issues to be resolved and concerns had been raised multiple times and fell on deaf ears.That was the problem now that's escalated. Thing is, you're just repeating the story we've been told by the media. I don't believe a major company like Right Move would be involved with and running an ad campaign for a building that wasn't up to grade with regard to fire safety.
