An application to the Building Safety Fund (BSF) can be made by the organisation that has the legal obligation or right to carry out remediation work on their building (responsible entity). Your responsible entity could be one of the following:
- freeholder
- head leaseholder
- private sector building owner
- right to manage company (RTM)
- resident management company (RMC) or
- registered provider of social housing such as a local authority or housing association.
Applicants can authorise a managing agent to act on their behalf: applying to the BSF and managing the application on a day-to-day basis. However, they only act on behalf of the applicant who retains the legal right to carry out works to address life-safety fire risks associated with cladding.
