Another long fire safety 🧵Making developers pay? Useful change in new amendments proposed to BSB (bills.parliament.uk/publications/4… p38) Outlined in 🧵 + some important further amends suggested (hoping @luhc and @team_greenhalgh will read😉) @LKPleasehold 1/12 Cl 125 = FTT can make remediation orders requiring landlord to fix. New amend allows order against others eg management company that is party to lease (ie those with legal power to fix) 2/12

🧵Unfit for habitation? Thrust of gvt amendments to BSB is that there are more tools to go after those responsible for defects. Some leaseholders protected from paying but many still exposed. 2 problems. @team_greenhalgh. #flawed 1/6 1st: duty to remediate is not so narrow. By cl 88 duty arises if needed to prevent blg safety risk arising. This is wider than being 'unfit for habitation' (cl 122). So maybe duty to fix but no possible cause of action. 2/6

🧵1/14 responding to qs about PP. Two proposals have been put forward. They share common beliefs: polluters should be responsible; remediation needs to be as speedy as possible; costs should not fall on leaseholders. Q: which is best way to go? This is for parliament to decide. Thread is (v brief) overview of each @LKPleasehold @team_greenhalgh @gtomlin 2/14

Good to hear further coverage of anticipated @michaelgove announcement with @lewis_goodall @PBottomleyMP and @raqresidents explaining. Here's my take on what seems to be the case: ... 1. No new money for blgs over 18m. For them, unless ACM cladding or have successful claim in long closed Blg Safety Fund there is no support. All non acm cladding, other defects, and huge incidentals falls to the leaseholders. ...

Thinking aloud thread: what's actually happening in blocks where there is no outside funding to cover remediation? (prompted by reading about the problem of collective action in condominium) 1/ Let's assume leaseholders and freeholders agree problem has to be fixed (safety reasons, EWS1 reasons etc). First: need reliable experts to advice on what is ?necessary ?possible. Decisions: A) aim for EWS B1 or higher? B) do it now or hold out in hope for more gvt money? 2/

Nothing new in this long thread (13), recap on who should pay for fire remediation. Remember: gvt has said from early on leaseholders should not pay. 1/13 BUT the statement from @team-_greenhalgh before @mhclg select committee yesterday is not unexpected. There’s been a drift from this towards being ‘affordable’ over recent months 2/13
