Building safety

The Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA 2022) introduced fundamental reforms to the law and regulation of building safety, which seek to ‘secure the safety of people in or about buildings and improve the standard of buildings’. 

BSA 2022 includes extensive provisions concerning the relationships between leaseholders and landlords, and their respective duties and liabilities in relation to building safety matters. This includes provisions intended to protect certain leaseholders of ‘relevant buildings’ from the costs of rectifying certain historic defects, and for the recovery of those amounts from landlords.
