The Government's proposed changes to the Defective Premises Act 1972 as part of the Building Safety Bill will more than double the time available to seek compensation for substandard building work from six to 15 years. These new measures will provide a legal route to redress that previously would not have been possible for hundreds of buildings, benefitting thousands of leaseholders.<\/p>
<\/p>
There are various limitation periods set in the Limitation Act 1980 for different types of civil claim. These range from 12 months (for defamation or the late payment of insurance claims) to six years (for claims relating to some types of contracts) to a long stop of 15 years for cases involving negligence. A 15-year limitation period has been chosen to bring the Defective Premises Act in line with other types of serious civil claim.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has been clear that those responsible must pay towards the cost of remediating defective buildings. It is fundamental that the industry that caused this issue contributes to setting things right. Some parts of the industry have done the right thing, funding remediation of serious historic defects, but this is not happening in all cases. In many cases, those who caused the problems are evading responsibility. That is why we are taking action, providing a route to redress so that those who caused these problems can be held accountable.<\/p>
<\/p>
Along with retrospectively extending the limitation period under the Defective Premises Act, going forward we are also expanding the Defective Premises Act to include refurbishments, and we will be commencing section 38 of the Building Act 1984. These measures will also be subject to a 15-year limitation period. Together, these increased rights to redress will enhance accountability, with stronger incentives against shoddy workmanship, further reinforcing the culture change in the construction industry that the Building Safety Bill will drive.<\/p>
<\/p>
These reforms are supported by more than £5 billion in direct grant funding for the remediation of dangerous cladding on high-rise buildings, where the risk to multiple households is greater when fire does spread; a significant proportion of this is funding the delivery of construction works now, or has funded work which has finished.<\/p>"}

We are aware that some leaseholders are finding their buildings insurance premiums are increasing, or insurance is unobtainable, where their block has building safety concerns.<\/p>
Ministers have met with senior representatives from the largest insurance companies. Ministers encouraged insurers to take a proportionate approach to risk and requested market solutions to address the issue. One of the largest insurers has recently stepped into this market.<\/p>
The Government has provided an unprecedented investment of £5 billion to protect leaseholders from the costs of cladding remediation and ensure no leaseholder will ever pay more than £50 a month to remove cladding, as part of a new Government-backed scheme.<\/p>
