An update on our building safety programme

Following changes to government building safety guidance, we’re carrying out one of the UK’s largest building safety programmes.

This programme includes assessing and inspecting our tall apartment blocks and ensuring they meet the new safety guidelines.

We’ve now made significant progress. All of our blocks over 18 metres have been assessed, and we’ve already started on blocks lower than 18 metres.

More than 60% of affected residents have had the block they live in inspected. This amounts to over 20,000 families, and we’re making good progress on the rest.

We’re scheduling work for buildings that must be brought up to the new standards. So far, we’ve started work on 61 buildings and upgraded the fire alarms in 3,000 homes.

This programme is a top priority for us. Not just because we want you to be safe in your home but also because we know many of you are being asked for information by your mortgage lenders.

We’re doing what we can to provide that information as soon as we can and to provide support wherever it’s required. This will help you when trying to get the best deal on your mortgage or when trying to sell.

You can find out more about our building safety programme on the Building and Fire Safety section of our website.
