Answer
All multi-occupancy residential buildings should have an up-to-date fire risk assessment which includes the external wall system. In view of the forthcoming Fire Safety Bill, building owners should ensure their buildings are promptly assessed.
The EWS1 valuation process is not a Government or regulatory requirement, therefore the Government has no intention to legislate on its delivery.
