PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Buildings: Insulation (9 December 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what support his Department is putting in place for leaseholders that have an EWS1 assessment that is under 18 meters and has been classified as a B2 property.

Asked by:
Marsha De Cordova (Labour)

An EWS1 assessment is a valuation tool and not a safety assessment. Where remediation is recommended supporting material should be transparent and alternatives such as mitigation should have been clearly considered. Leaseholders may seek second opinions if they are concerned about the recommendations. The Government is examining what more can be done to protect leaseholders from unnecessary costs.
