High Rise Flats: Fire Prevention

Asked by Mike AmesburyIndependentMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 27 February 2025UIN 31533

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to her Department's publication entitled Building Safety Remediation: monthly data release - December 2024, published on 23 January 2025, in how many of the buildings where enforcement action has been taken but which are not in any remediation funding programme does the building owner meet the contribution condition.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Department does not hold this information.

The contribution condition is met when the landlord group’s net worth is at least £2,000,000 per relevant building owned by the landlord group. If the landlord group of a relevant building meets the contribution condition, all qualifying leaseholders in that building are exempt from all costs associated with non-cladding defects and interim measures (including waking watch costs).
