Charis Beverton featured in International Fire Buyer discussing further building safety regulations bill

The Bill has set out planned new penalties of up to two years in jail for breaching the updated regulations, with more information provided on fire related elements. Last month, the government published the draft bill, which included mention of the new role of the accountable person, who will ‘have to listen and respond’ to concerns and ensure resident are heard, called the accountable person. There will also be resident and leaseholder access to ‘vital’ safety information about buildings, and new complaints handling requirements for ‘effective action’.
