Santander are asking for the below. I have an EWS1 form, but am now struggling to get this from my building's freeholder.
Cladding of a potentially combustible nature is thought to be present and the property cannot therefore, be assessed for mortgage purposes without further information. The building owner/management company (in their capacity as the legally 'responsible person' for the safety of their buildings) must provide answers to the following on a letter headed document -
- Has a review of the building, including the external walls, in relation to fire safety been carried out in accordance with the latest Government advice? YES/NO
- Did the review result in any remedial works being required to the building? YES/NO
If Question 2 is answered YES, Questions 3 and 4 must also be answered
- Have the works commenced/been completed? YES/NO
- Will any costs be passed on to the leaseholders? YES/NO
Please note we currently do not require any other supporting cladding documentation and any that is submitted will not be read.
- Has a review of the building, including the external walls, in relation to fire safety been carried out in accordance with the latest Government advice? YES/NO
EWS1 Update:
Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government have said that lenders should be accepting evidence in lieu of EWS1 forms. So I have spent 5 weeks gathering the most comprehensive evidence Peabody has ever provided to anyone. Halifax responds within a day to say "The document supplied confirms there is a cladding system present therefore the building requires an EWS1 report before we can supply a valuation."
No shit you fucking fucktards.
