Apartment Blocks, Fire Safety & Building Safety - A Roundup for Residential Conveyancers

Introduction

The Grenfell Tower tragedy led to calls for a complete overhaul of the law regulating the safety of high-rise residential buildings.

As a result, sweeping new building safety laws have been introduced, but this remains a complex and fast-moving area of law and practice. Moreover, some of these new laws affect also mid-rise blocks, while some fire safety laws apply to residential buildings with at least two dwellings.

This webinar will consider the latest developments affecting apartment buildings. It is aimed at property lawyers involved in the sale and purchase of apartments.

This webinar will provide the latest information at the time.
