SPF seeks Building Safety Levy exemptions for SMEs and affordable housing sectors

The Scottish Property Federation (SPF) has submitted its response to the Scottish Government's Building Safety Levy consultation, calling for exemptions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) developers, Build to Rent (BTR) sector, and all affordable housing providers. The response, published on 3 September 2025, argues that the levy, intended to fund the Cladding Remediation Programme, risks undermining housing delivery due to its impact on development viability. The SPF notes the sector already contributes to cladding remediation through tax and voluntary means, alongside existing planning obligations. The federation specifically highlights concerns about the disproportionate impact on BTR developments due to their lack of upfront sales revenue and the current limitation of affordable housing exemptions to publicly funded projects only.

These areas were selected following approximately 500 consultation submissions, and the Law Commission confirmed that all projects have received government acknowledgment of reform intention. The new initiatives will run alongside 17 existing projects, with specific timelines for each project to be announced in due course.

BPF comments on English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill second reading

The British Property Federation (BPF) has commented on the second reading of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. The Chief Executive of the BPF, Melanie Leech CBE, highlighted that several MPs expressed concerns about the proposed ban on Upward Only Rent Reviews. The BPF noted that the measure was announced without prior consultation and primarily affects the office and logistics sectors, rather than retail leases, and could potentially impact long-term investors’ ability to invest in modern workplaces. The BPF stated it will continue discussions with MPs and peers as the Bill progresses through Parliament.
