Six developers yet to remediate most buildings with serious fire safety issues
Summary
Government data shows that six developers who signed the remediation contract have started or completed works on fewer than 30% of the buildings they are responsible for fixing. The article highlights ongoing delays in addressing serious fire safety defects in affected buildings.
Why it matters
This is relevant to residential property surveyors because unresolved fire safety defects can affect building condition assessments, valuation, and risk advice. It also indicates that remediation progress remains uneven, which may influence due diligence on affected residential blocks.
Key points
- Six developers have remediated fewer than 30% of the buildings they are responsible for.
- The figures are based on latest MHCLG developer-led remediation data.
- The issue concerns buildings with serious fire safety problems.
- Progress on remediation remains incomplete despite the government contract.
