  • Turns out my girl friend now needs an ews1 form for her building which is a new build (2018)

    Is the buyer's mortgage company demanding one? If not, then ignore. If so, then suggest buyer changes mortgage company or find new buyer.

  • I’m not too sure to be honest, only found out this evening, we will investigate tomorrow. As far as I know it’s the surveyor which has the issue apparently.

  • You need to find out if

    • the buyer's mortgage company will not lend on it because of the lack of EWS1*, or
    • the buyer's solicitor has shit the bed on it

    If it's the later you can - somewhat optimistically - request the buyer 'take a view' on it if their mortgage company is still willing to lend, on the grounds that the fiasco may be resolved by the time they get round to selling in five years time or whatever.

    If it's both obvs. sale is a bit fooked

    * assuming it's not a cash buyer
