Top five frequently asked questions

The recent changes brought about by the Building Safety Act and the associated regulations provide some leaseholders with protections against costs arising from certain building safety related costs, in some circumstances. Some leaseholders will still have to pay, up to a capped amount and others will still have to pay in line with their usual service charge apportionments as determined by their lease.

The LDoC enables the Landlord to understand who within a block may, under certain circumstances, be required to contribute towards those building safety related costs, and to ensure that they only pay the amount that the law has deemed appropriate.

You need to complete the LDoC to determine if you qualify for the leaseholder protections against building safety costs, arising from Building Safety act and to enable your landlord to calculate your maximum financial contribution towards those costs.

The information provided in the LDoC will help your building owner to ensure that no leaseholder will pay more than the law now requires in relation to building safety related costs.
