Cladding crisis: Online checker tells flat owners if they are financially liable for building safety

Flat owners impacted by the 'cladding crisis' are being urged to use a new online tool to check whether or not they are liable for any costs of making their building safe. New legislation means most homeowners won't be responsible for footing the cost of remedial cladding work, and this tool can help reassure those affected that they won't be hit with a bill of £1,000s or even £10,000s.

  • Sorry DOESN’T mean most homeowners won't be responsible for footing the bill for remedial cladding work, …confirming whether they'll be hit with a bill of £1,000s or even £10,000s. 
    Gov - hoodwinking everyone.. saying fixed. Millions do not qualify. We’re not qualified as our pension in 3 BTL, Mortgage  brokers state 5 properties to be deemed a multiple property operator.  Our life savings gone and liable for £100k’s for remediation of property that developers built omitting firebreaks etc for profit for the sake of lives🔥. Life savings gone - Drawing down our pension and now retirement in tatters and lives over. Bankruptcy looms. We thought we bought safe apartments. All leaseholders should be dealt with equally.  So unjust. Despair  😡
