Legal battle over Olympic Village flats safety defects continues

The owner of Olympic Village flats, Get Living, plans to appeal a legal ruling that ordered them to pay for fixing building safety defects. The decision has been welcomed by owners of flats in the East Village development, who have been unable to sell or remortgage their homes due to the dispute. Get Living argues that the Olympic Delivery Authority and the contractors responsible for the work should be liable for the costs. The defects include cladding similar to that on Grenfell Tower, and the case is closely watched by the property industry and the owners of 1.5m flats in the UK who lack proof of safety.
