Building Safety Act

Looking for advice on Building Safety Act risks

I’m buying a 1 bed flat (£120k) in a 5 storey building completed after Feb 2022, so from what I understand, the lease likely isn’t “qualifying” under the BSA. I’m worried this could mean I’m liable for full costs if any fire safety issues are found later.

I'm guessing big bills are more common in high-rise blocks, but is there still a real risk in a smaller building like this?
I also have concerns about the future value of the flat and whether these issues could make it harder to resell if major costs or risks arise.

Took me a while to find one but I'll be working with a solicitors that have plenty of experience working with BSA cases.

Any advice or similar experiences appreciated!
