Register a High-Rise Residential Building
The Building Safety Regulator has now opened the process to register high-rise residential buildings in England. Under the Building Safety act 2022, it is now a legal requirement for all high-rise residential buildings to be registered with the Building Safety Regulator by 1st October 2023.
A high-rise residential building is considered to be at least 7 storeys tall, or 18 metres high or more, with two or more residential units. The fee to register each building will be £251.
The principal accountable person (PAP) is required to complete the registration process, or someone authorised by them to do so. Some examples of an accountable person are, a Freeholder or Estate Owner, Landlord, Resident Management Company and Commonhold association.
