Leaseholders in lower-rise blocks of flats will not have to take out loans to remove dangerous cladding under new government rules to be set out today.
Michael Gove, the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, is expected to say that leaseholders in buildings between 11 to 18 metres in height will no longer have to contribute to replacing cladding.
Gove’s predecessor - Robert Jenrick - announced almost a year ago that the government would pay for the removal and replacement of cladding for all leaseholders in buildings of 18 metres and higher. But at that time he told leaseholders in lower rise buildings that they would have to take out low-interest loans and fund the removal work themselves.
