The Building Safety Act has introduced significant changes for owners and purchasers of flats in higher-risk and multi-occupied residential buildings. If a property is affected by issues such as cladding, fire safety defects or ongoing remediation works, understanding your legal position is essential before buying, selling or refinancing.
Our specialist property team advises both current owners and prospective purchasers on the legal implications of the Building Safety Act. We can help identify whether a property falls within the scope of the legislation, review relevant documentation and explain how building safety requirements may affect ownership, marketability and future costs.
For buyers, we provide clear advice on matters such as remediation liabilities, protections available to leaseholders, lender requirements and information contained within the seller’s legal pack. For existing owners, we can assist with understanding ongoing obligations and navigating building safety concerns.
By combining property and construction expertise, we help clients make informed decisions, minimise risk and proceed with confidence when dealing with properties affected by the Building Safety Act.
