Find out if you need to fill out a deed of certificate to get protection against costs for building and fire safety issues.

Landlord deed of certificate

You’ll get a landlord's deed of certificate if we want to pass on part of the cost of remedial works to you through the service charge. 

You’ll also get one within 4 weeks of you requesting a certificate or within 4 weeks of us:

  • receiving a notification from you that your leasehold interest is to be sold
  • becoming aware of a relevant defect which was not covered by a previous landlord’s certificate

There are no known qualifying defects with Southwark council-owned buildings.
