EWS1 coverage for Bristol flats and blocks
Specialist firms handle requests for an EWS1 certificate Bristol residents need when selling or remortgaging. Harbourside developments and city centre blocks each present their own external wall conditions, so the right professional must examine the building in person.
- Harbourside materials
- Timber decking and exterior insulation finish systems on harbourside blocks complicate assessments, requiring close inspection by the specialist firm.
- City centre density
- Tall residential buildings near the centre mean lenders routinely request a fire safety form before releasing mortgage funds on any flat sale.
