Combustible Cladding Issues – Homeowners’ Rights Explained
Ever since the Grenfell tragedy brought the dangers of combustible ACM cladding to public attention, many homeowners with this kind of cladding on their building have been living in limbo.
Exactly who is responsible for the cost of replacing combustible cladding is often a matter of dispute, with the default position of many management companies and freeholders being that leaseholders should foot the bill.
