<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>
