Living with Risk: Who’s Really Listening?
The cladding crisis remains one of the UK’s most persistent and devastating property challenges. Years after Grenfell, thousands of leaseholders are still trapped in high-risk buildings, facing plummeting property values and limited options.

In this episode of Cladding Matters, hosts Gareth Wax and Hamish McLay are joined by Stephen Day, a resident of Royal Artillery Quays, and Wendy Gibson, an advocate for first-time buyers. Together, they delve into the harsh realities of living with unresolved cladding issues, the financial and emotional toll on homeowners, and the wider impact on the housing market.

Despite legislative changes such as the Fire Safety Act and Building Safety Act, major gaps remain. This discussion explores the effectiveness of these measures, the responsibilities of developers and government agencies, and what still needs to be done to ensure safety and fairness for homeowners.

Whether you're a resident, buyer, lawyer, conveyancer, agent, insurer, or developer, this conversation is essential. Tune in, speak up, and be part of the movement for change.
