Emily Jordan, Associate, and Lachlan McLean, Partner, in our Housing & Regeneration team are joined by Scott Jeffreys, (Service Charge Lead at Trafford Housing Trust) for a webinar on 'Leasehold Fire Safety – Service Charge and Consultation Headaches'.
Fire Safety in high rise flats continues to be an important topic amongst landlords, housing practitioners and government. In this session, we will be considering and discussing:
•Where we are now post-Grenfell;
•Overlapping duties of freeholders, leaseholders and building managers and agents;
•Overlapping duties of mixed use premises under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Housing Act 2004;
•Recovery of costs for fire safety works through leasehold service charges, including the difference between repair, replacement and improvement;
•Section 20 consultation and procurement headaches which can arise under framework agreements.
