Landlord Insurance Fees Regulation

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is regulating insurance fees charged by landlords, freeholders and managing agents to leaseholders, particularly in the context of building safety remediation. The government is introducing statutory caps on insurance commissions and broker fees, and monitoring whether insurance premiums fall as remediation work progresses. Multiple bills are advancing this reform to address excessive insurance costs that have hindered building safety improvements.

MHCLG told us that there was a balance to be struck between paying for remediation that remov...
