Does the Building Safety Act 2022 cause issues for property lawyers?

The Building Safety Act 2022 created some challenges for conveyancing solicitor firms handling the conveyancing process for buildings five or more storeys high. This is because there was concern over the expectation to explain the complex requirements, potential risks, and financial liabilities to a building owner if they’re not experienced enough.

Additionally, conveyancers feel uncomfortable about the wording used in the legislation. The original wording states that the qualifying leaseholder would lose the protection of the act by extending their lease, potentially exposing them to fire safety issues and remediation costs.

Other complex regulations include:

New roles and responsibilities – The Building Safety Act created new roles, such as ‘Building Safety Managers’ and ‘Accountable Persons’. Their compliance must be verified by conveyancers.
Safety charges – The costs associated with building safety remediation work must now be assessed and communicated to potential buyers.
Leaseholder protections – There are certain protections in place for qualifying leaseholders, shielding them from the costs of historical safety defects. This adds more complexity for conveyancers to determine eligibility.
Information gathering – Conveyancers must now obtain documentation relating to building safety, such as the Leaseholder’s Deeds of Certificate and Landlord’s Certificates. These can be difficult to acquire.
Increased insurance premiums – Professional indemnity insurance providers are also likely to scrutinise conveyancing law firms handling high-rise transactions more closely. As a result, they could increase insurance premiums because of the perceived higher risk.

Despite the challenges set by the Building Safety Act, we at GD Property Solicitors are confident in our ability to efficiently handle transactions involving flats in high-rise buildings.
