Details

The Building Safety Act 2022 is an important and complex new piece of legislation which is causing confusion for conveyancers and other property professionals. Written by a team of practising barristers from Tanfield Chambers specialising in residential and commercial property work, this book provides a practical guide to the Act and focuses on key issues for property lawyers, including:

The impact of the Act on the recoverability of service charges
Use of the Landlord Certificate and Leaseholder Deed of Certificate
The role and relevance of Accountable Persons and Principal Accountable Persons
Remediation Orders and Remediation Contribution Orders
Building Liability Orders
Amendments to the Building Act 1984 and Defective Premises Act 1972 (including the extension of limitation periods)
Liability in relation to construction products
Applications to the First-Tier Tribunal under the Act

Containing two chapters written by qualified conveyancer and well-known legal trainer Ian Quayle, it covers all aspects of the Act, with a particular focus on the implications for purchasers, leaseholders, landlords and managing agents, tenants, property developers, and those advising them. It takes a practical, straightforward approach to explaining the complex issues arising from the Act.
