These heritage campaigners should try living in the damp and often dilapidated houses, many of which are more than 124 years old, that they are trying to protect (“Hands off our homes”, 11 February, page 9).
The only people willing to buy are speculators hoping for a fast return on their investments, often buying at very low prices and hoping to make a profit if the areas are to be renewed and get the full market value. We are aspiring to better homes and cleaner, greener areas.
