Guide to the UK Building Safety Act 2022

June 2023 White Paper

The United Kingdom's Building Safety Act 2022 introduces a new regulatory regime affecting higher-risk buildings. Developers, owners, landlords and contractors of high-rise buildings are among those to be affected by changes already in force as well as awaited secondary legislation. The deadline for registering existing higher-risk buildings with the new regulator is fast approaching—the principal accountable person must do this by 30 September 2023. The new regulatory regime introduces a number of fundamental changes to how buildings within scope must be built, occupied and maintained including, in certain situations, the potential for the corporate veil to be pierced. 

Our guide provides the key provisions of the Act and its practical implications. We've also created a one-page guide on the Building Safety Act which sets out everything you need to know in a digestible and quick-to-read format.

Read the guide.
