Rejected petition: Enforce laws against builders not complying with uk Building regulations
Rejected on
The uk Goverment allows enforcement officers, to primarily hold homeowners responsible for Building regulations non compliance, regardless of who as done the building constructions works and not complied with Building laws in uk. Building Act 1984, states the builder or building owner, Jointly.
The majority of the publics, largest financial asset, will be their home. We trust the Building trade industry to make improvements to our homes, extensions, additional disable adjustments, etc. There are now too many builders not complying with building regulations. Enforcement orders are against the home owner and not the builders. Costing building owners 14.3 billion in last five years. I want to change legislation, and enforcement orders to be served on the builder and not the homeowner.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The petition claims the Building Act 1984 makes builders and owners “jointly” responsible, which the Act does not state. It also misrepresents why enforcement notices are served on homeowners, and it includes an unverified financial figure (£14.3bn).
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
