Asked by Rachel BlakeLabour (Co-op)Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 11 September 2025UIN 74388

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to address leasehold issues arising from probate sales of properties which did not qualify for cladding remediation support under the Building Safety Act (2022).

Answered by Samantha Dixon

There is a range of support in place for leaseholders, even those whose lease does not qualify for protection under Part 5 of the Building Safety Act 2022.

All leaseholders are also protected from cladding remediation and benefit from qualifying status on their main home. All leaseholders are protected from paying towards safety defects associated with the developer or through the developer remediation contract.
