“Stuck between a rock and a hard place” that’s the words of a resident who bought a flat in London with all her savings and is now in a desperate place with her flat valued as worthless.
As we await the arrival of the New Fire Safety Bill it’s a good time to reflect on where we are in this country and to spare a thought for the poor residents who are trapped in this terrible predicament. They bought properties through the correct procedure. Can you even imagine the stress for these people?
As we work hard to rectify fire safety issues which often results in no easy answer for the buildings residents, we need to make sure we are working together and everybody involved is taking their responsibilities. We will await more developments from the Grenfell enquiry.
But whether it’s architects, building control, contractors, fire safety consultants or building management teams, whatever has gone wrong in these buildings needs to be put right. It may be the fault of a whole range of organisations. But one thing is for sure, it was and is no fault of the buildings residents.
