uin	19947
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2024 answer text <p>Under Part 5 of the Building Safety Act 2022 leaseholders in enfranchised buildings, either individually or collectively, can pursue developers – and their associated companies – via a remediation contribution order, for funds they have spent or will spend remediating their buildings for relevant defects.</p><p>We are building on the legislation brought forward by the Act. The Government has tabled several amendments for the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Bill to clarify and extend the protections in some specific areas. These amendments will further prevent freeholders and developers from escaping their liabilities to fund building remediation work – protecting leaseholders by allowing the Building Safety Act 2022 to operate as intended, as well as adding further protections in some specific scenarios.</p><p>For example, we have made clear that a remediation contribution order can, among other things, order the landlord or developer to make payments for the costs of:</p><ul><li>steps which reduce the risk of a relevant defect;</li><li>obtaining an expert report; and,</li><li>temporary alternative accommodation and associated costs in connection with a decant from a building in connection with a relevant defect.</li></ul> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 28/03/2024 13:22:01 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley

Since December 2023 the department has assisted local regulators in preventing at least 800 residents from being decanted by identifying mitigating measures (such as a waking watch), allowing these residents to remain safely in their homes.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 28/03/2024 13:23:21 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley
