It'll not be possible for almost all residents of these blocks.
Apparently the draft bill was written in consultation with freeholders. Which is interesting, as before the bill was released they were solely responsible for the costs. There was talk of many housing associations (who are also the freeholders of 000's of buildings) becoming insolvent if they had to pay for the repairs, so rightly they should be protected as they provide an invaluable service to many, often lower income tenants/leaseholders.
However, the majority of freeholders are privately owned asset classes, these freeholders have no skin-in-the-game other than employing intermediaries to 'manage' their freehold assets to x% yield.
