tabling member constituency	Bristol North West
tabling member printed	Darren Jones
uin	91914
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2020 answer text <p>The Department has made £1.6 billion available to support the remediation of unsafe cladding, and a large proportion of this will protect leaseholders from these costs and will deal with some of the highest risk and highest cost safety defects on high-rise buildings.</p><p>To support the valuation process for high-rise residential buildings with cladding, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors designed the EWS1 process. The EWS1 process is not a regulatory requirement and the Department does not support a blanket approach to EWS1. The Department is working with mortgage lenders to support a more pragmatic approach in their valuation of homes within multi occupancy, multi storey residential buildings. We are encouraging lenders to accept a broader range of evidence to assure themselves of a building’s safety.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 16/11/2020 16:05:18 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
