Earlier this year we launched our Procuring for Building Safety report. It sets out key principles and guidance on what good, quality procurement looks like. Over the next few months we’ll be releasing regular bulletins that supports our network with their building safety programmes. We’re pleased to release our first one today – a summary of the leasehold protections under the Building Safety Act 2022 by David Ashby, our Head of Operations.
Leaseholder protection only applies to buildings which are at least 11m high or have at least 5 stories. Remediation protection for leaseholders only applies to a relevant defect which causes a building safety risk. This means a risk to safety of people in and about a building arising from the spread of fire or collapse of the building. Accordingly, protection does not extend to other historic defects.
Building Safety leaseholder protections operate as a “waterfall” – with developers paying first, followed by building owners and landlords. Where building owners do not have the means or ability to pay the full costs of remediation, they may be able to raise some of the funding required from leaseholders. However, the Act contains further protections limiting the total amount any leaseholder will pay towards remediation. For leaseholders, costs are capped and spread over 10 years.
What are the key takeaways?
If you’d like more information please let me know.
Watch this space – we’ll be posting monthly updated on legislation relating the Building Safety. This will include a client’s perspective and an update on construction products.
