The messed up situation means the only sensible thing for you to do is either walk away or drive an extremely hard bargain such that if you buy it and then get clobbered with a mega repair bill (or you want to sell it and find it challenging) you don’t end up out of pocket.
This whole mess needs to be fixed by boris and co. I wouldn’t hold my breath on swift action though. Grenfell was 3 years ago.

I'd avoid buying a multi-occupant dwelling of any sort if I were you until such time as clarity arrives on whether they are effectively going to backdate fire safety rules by 20 years. This is the government's current trajectory.
This may or may not be possible dependent on your financial situation.

Place I went to view yesterday was almost ideal however it's 4 storeys high and there is wooden cladding on the exterior. It was developed in 2004.
Earlier thread chat re: EWS1 forms means I should probably walk away very quickly right?
