Leaseholder deed of certificate

If you’ve already submitted your leasehold certificate and have a reference number, do not contact us while we process it. We’ll contact you if we need more information.

The leaseholder deed of certificate was introduced under the Building Safety Act to gather compulsory information about leasehold properties in buildings above a certain height.

It formally records how your property should be treated for certain types of costs for building and fire safety issues.

Submitting your leaseholder deed of certificate can show that you qualify for protections under the Building Safety Act.

There are no known qualifying defects with Southwark council owned buildings. But we must take precautions to comply with the law and in case they are found in the future.
