Building Safety Act
We can advise landlords and management companies in relation to their obligations under the Building Safety Act (BSA).
Introduced in 2022, the BSA is a key piece of legislation for landlords and management companies.
Through the BSA, qualifying leaseholders are protected from the costs associated with remediating historical building safety defects.
The BSA also created three new bodies to provide oversight:
- The Building Safety Regulator
- The National Regulator of Construction Products
- The New Homes Ombudsman
What the Building Safety Act means for landlords and management companies
At Attwaters Jameson Hill, our specialist Commercial Property team can advise landlords and management companies on obligations under the BSA.
The required responses can be complex. For example, measures on building safety risks vary depending on the risk level of individual properties. Where appropriate, we can advise on demonstrating effective, proportionate measures to manage building safety risks.
The BSA puts the responsibility on landlords and management companies to manage and pay for the maintenance of buildings.
