Guidance: Developer remediation contract
Summary
The guidance updates the UK Government’s developer remediation contract, which requires major developers to remediate unsafe buildings they developed. It records changes to the lists of developers who have signed, are yet to sign, or are exempt, and notes that the commitments are legally binding once the contract is signed.
Why it matters
This is relevant to residential property surveyors because it affects the remediation landscape for unsafe residential buildings and the parties responsible for funding and delivering repairs. It also signals ongoing regulatory and scheme changes that may influence defect investigations, reporting, and client advice.
Key points
