  1. Barratt Developements will have enhanced their reputation by this gesture to the customers who purchased off them initially , however in their role as main building contractor how do they avoid any liability for the cladding????

    Or is this just a PR exercise???

  2. Barratt Developments have provided good news for the Citiscape leaseholders in Croydon, the freeholder, and the Government by agreeing to refurbish the entire building and pick up all costs back to 14 June 2017.

    Sajid Javid says Barratt Developments ‘… have done the right thing.’

    Barratt Developments have done an extraordinary thing given that they also insist ‘… Citiscape was built in line with all building regulations in place at the time of construction.’

    When will Javid “do the right thing” and admit that Barratt Developments are correct – Government guidance to the Building Regulations at the time allowed combustible cladding on high-rise buildings.

  3. If, Ian Abley, comments 21 April 2018 are correct (quote) “Government guidance to the Building Regulations at the time allowed combustible cladding on high -rise buildings” (unquote) then surely Dame Judith Hackitts review will identify this and the MPs investigation will expose who provided this guidance from the government, and what qualified them to give this advice?

    Am I asking to much?!

  4. Liability for the cladding of a building built in 2002 in 2018 has surely lapsed due to the latent defects provision and Statute of Limitation?
