Housing: Fire Prevention
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps her Department is taking to help support people who are unable to re-mortgage their properties because of fire safety issues.
Answered by Alex Norris
Ten mortgage lenders (banks and building societies) have signed a joint statement confirming they will lend on properties in buildings before they have been remediated. Leaseholders should be able to re-mortgage their homes with one of these lenders, even before works have completed.
We will remain vigilant and continue to hold the ten major lenders to account following their commitment.
