We might actually have progress on selling without an EWS1.
My flat is under 18M, standard construction, no cladding, block and render with no fire breaks, no wood on balcony's etc etc etc.
One Surveyor in March requested one, I got my buyer to wait until the RICS guidance change on 5th April and try a different lender.
Second Surveyor came round recently, I decided to just ask outright, after a discussion and some investigation he went away saying we likely don't need one, but he would need to check the current regs.
I heard yesterday valuation has come back fine, so he definitely hasn't asked for one, we are just waiting on them getting their formal mortgage offer to see if it is asked for within that, the lender is one that has definitely changed their criteria based on the RICS update.
I literally have everything crossed at this point.
