Building Safety in Wales: Learning from England's Experience

As Wales moves into the next phase of implementing the Building Safety (Wales) Act 2026, understanding the practical lessons from England's building safety reforms has never been more important. Mark London and Lee Russell of Devonshires will explore England's experience of implementing key building safety reforms, including Safety Case Reports, resident engagement and access requirements, fire safety obligations, remediation and regulatory compliance. The session will consider how the English framework has operated in practice, the challenges encountered by landlords, and what we should be looking out for as the detail of the Welsh regulations emerges.
