<p>Through the Building Safety Bill, we will be ensuring that building owners of higher-risk
buildings have clear accountabilities for managing building safety as Accountable
Persons. Residents will have a clear voice under the new regime and will be empowered
to hold their Accountable Person to account, with the ability to raise complaints
for breach of accountable person duties, and escalate such complaints to the regulator.</p><p>The
new Building Safety Regulator will enforce the more stringent regulatory regime for
higher-risk buildings and oversee the safety and performance of all buildings.</p><p>The
Government funds the Leasehold Advisory Service (LEASE) to provide free and independent
advice to leaseholders, including those affected by building safety issues. This aims
to help them make informed decisions on next steps and engage confidently with freeholders,
developers and managing agents. Advice is open to all and there is no limit on the
amount of advice an individual can seek to support their chances of achieving the
best possible outcome in their case.</p><p> </p>
