Leaseholder Remediation (Building Safety) Bill [HL]

Labour will review how to better protect leaseholders from building safety remediation costs and accelerate the pace of remediation.

The bill text directly addresses protecting leaseholders from building safety remediation costs through 'extend protections for qualifying leaseholders from the costs of historical building safety failures' and accelerating remediation through 'place enforceable duties on freeholders and building owners to initiate and complete remediation works within prescribed timeframes' and providing 'rights to seek mandatory remediation orders where responsible parties fail to act'. However, the promise specifically requires a 'review completed' as part of the metric/test. The bill text does not mention conducting or completing a review - it appears to be legislative action that may result from a review, but the bill itself does not establish or complete a review process. Therefore, the bill addresses the protection and acceleration aspects but not the review component of the promise.
