Owning your own home

Santander are currently not accepting the EWS1 and instead just need a letter from the freeholder confirming that the building meets the standards (below). You might have more luck getting that, although my freeholder refused to give it to me despite me actually having an EWS1 as it would shift liability onto them.

1. 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
   
2. 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

1. Have the works commenced/been completed? YES/NO
   
2. Will any costs be passed on to the leaseholders? YES/NO
