Recommendation 3

The Secretary of State said the Government would protect leaseholders from remediation costs, but too many leaseholders will fall through the cracks of the Government’s piecemeal measures. As the Government’s proposals currently stand, the only leaseholders who will not pay for building safety remediation are those who have already not paid anything, who either live in their flats or only own one other property, whose flats do not also have any non-cladding defects, and whose flats are in blocks at least 11m high.
