A new Building Safety Fund worth £4.5 billion is open to help leaseholders with homes in unsafe high-rise buildings. The government is accepting applications from owners of buildings over 18 metres high with building defects that pose fire safety risks, such as flammable cladding.
Under the recently instated Building Safety Act, leaseholders have even more protections against having to pay the high costs of fixing building safety defects that they weren’t responsible for. The original fund has allocated more than £1.3 billion to make at-risk homes safer since 2020.
