"Seen that fire risk assessment, yes thanks. The message is clear but I understand no lenders will pay any attention to that"

"Yes. I imagine they were counting basement. Over 5 floors in a block of our type is not acceptable under some lenders’ policies"

"UPDATE: mortgage declined by lender because according to the inspector/valuer we have 7 floors (??) in Hatfield House which is apparently a fire risk because of the questionable post-Grenfell government regulations This will present difficulties in…"

"Thanks, that's useful. GLE doesn't even have any cladding, let alone flammable cladding! It didn't even exist when the block was built...we just don't have an EWS1 form/survey to prove that"

"Hi George - sounds difficult. We managed to remortgage with Santander 2 years ago no problem - maybe we got in before this form was required. Have the Estate Office managed to help? Or the City of London Housing team?  There's a Glera (the…"
