  • my mum is buying a flat in a 5 storey 1960s block. It'll be a cash purchace so no need for a mortgage. How can I find out if the block needs an EWS1 form? obviously it wouldn't prevent this purchace but it would affect value.

  • As TW said, if the mortgage will lend for it then that's what really matters.

    Personally I'd avoid anything in a block of flats for the foreseeable future, even if it's under 18 meters and without cladding there's still a chance lenders will ask for an EWS1.
