answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2023 answer text <p>The lack of a landlord's certificate, should not, in most cases, be a barrier to the sale of a property over 11 metres. If a landlord does not provide a valid landlord's certificate within 4 weeks of a leaseholder requesting a certificate (if necessary, via the managing agent), they will be unable legally to pass costs for remediation onto qualifying leaseholders. <br> <br> A leaseholder can evidence they qualify to receive the protections from remediation costs in the Building Safety Act by completing a leaseholder deed of certificate. This certificate should be sufficient evidence for a lender to consider a mortgage application for a building with building safety issues; major mortgage lenders (covering 70% of the UK mortgage market) have committed to this in a joint statement.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 06/09/2023 16:41:41 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2023 answer text <p>Government building safety schemes provide funding for the remediation or mitigation of life safety fire risks associated with externally clad walls, ensuring the safety of all occupants, including co-located businesses. While there is no additional funding for businesses affected by necessary remediation works, we do expect companies in these buildings to be consulted about proposed repairs. We also require construction companies funded to carry out this work to comply with the Considerate Constructors Scheme, through which they work to manage the impact on the local community and the environment.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 06/09/2023 16:42:22 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley
