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
- the buyer's mortgage company will not lend on it because of the lack of EWS1*, or
Howard-
Cheers for the advice, I’m optimistically hoping that it’s just because the surveyor said it, could we get a lore sympathetic surveyor, the building is brick...
Will find out tomorrow. The estate agent has said all along they don’t need one, what a nightmare this all is. It’s on help to buy as well so they will struggle to rent it out (she owns it with her sister).

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.
