Practical property advice
Selling a leasehold flat with cladding or building safety issues
Before marketing, obtain reliable information about the building's fire-safety position, remediation programme, funding arrangements and any EWS1 document. An EWS1 form is not legally required for every flat; lenders may have their own assessment requirements.
Practical steps to consider
- Step 1
Obtain available managing-agent, freeholder and remediation correspondence.
- Step 2
Check leaseholder-protection and service charge documentation as applicable.
- Step 3
Avoid promising mortgageability or completion dates without evidence.
