Government announcement comment from Scanlans

Property management and surveying firm Scanlans, which is the managing agent for numerous apartment blocks around the UK, has given a cautious welcome to the government’s decision to issue legally binding contracts to developers requiring them to pay to repair unsafe buildings.

Scanlans has consistently worked in partnership with campaigners, residents, leaseholders and property owners to secure a better deal for them on the issue of meeting the costs of building safety defects.
