Leasehold

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to sunset the Non-Qualified Leaseholder status.

Answer

The leaseholder protections introduced through the Building Safety Act 2022 provide vital protection for leaseholders from the costs of remediating historical building safety defects.

The Government recognises that some leaseholders remain outside the scope of existing protections and is keeping this under review, including considering options to provide further support to those affected by building safety defects.
