Landlords and facilities management professionals must work together to make sure the £250 rent cap doesn’t lead to a deterioration in standards.
Adam Atkins, a facilities management specialist, responded to government plans to cap ground rents from 2028.
Atkins said: “There is a clear link between the cap and the potential for reduced investment in areas such as FM (facilities management).
“This is of real concern not only from a compliance perspective, with multiple regulatory requirements to consider, but also due to the potential implications for the safety and comfort of everyone using these buildings.”
