Without Yuno: You're Left in the dark Why does Compliance Matter for Freeholders?

Hefty Fines & Legal Penalties

Non-compliance can cost up to £30,000 per offence under the Housing Act 2004, these penalties will impact your finances and property value.

Regulatory risk & legal disputes

Freeholders are responsible for structural safety and multi‐occupancy compliance. Under the Building Safety Act 2022 and the Fire Safety Act 2021, property owners face heightened obligations to ensure buildings meet strict safety standards. Falling behind can lead to significant legal repercussions and unforeseen costs.

Impact financing and growth

Ignoring compliance can drive down the value of your property as buyers and investors do not want the liability. Lenders will be more cautious making it harder to secure finance for non-compliant properties which can hold-up deals and growth.

Cost & Time

It's difficult to manage the cost and time associated with the complexities in management and sale of your buildings, ignoring compliance could cost you in fines and impact the sale of your property.

Neglecting Building Safety

Freeholders who neglect building safety risk deterring potential buyers. According to the Fire Protection Association (2022), 78% of prospective leaseholders would avoid properties with known fire‐safety gaps. Demonstrating full compliance protects property values and fosters stronger relationships with current and future residents.
