An update on our Building Safety Programme

Following new government 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 made significant progress since we started two years ago.

All 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 excellent progress on the rest.

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


Block of flats

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.

We’re dedicated to delivering the standard of homes that residents deserve. We recognise that we can always do better, and we’re working hard to make things happen, and the progress is good.

If you want information about your building’s inspection or have a question about the programme in general, please get in touch with our specialist team at firesafetyengagement@lqgroup.org.uk.
