Update 12/02/2026

I’m getting in touch with the latest update on your new home and the remaining work now underway. In our last update we advised that we would be registering for BSR this week, but this has been delayed for the following reasons:

• Riser cupboard doors

This was requested back in early January, but we won’t now be in receipt of all the required information of the contractor’s programme and costs until early next week. Once received, we’ll submit these to our Building Safety Team (BST). Whilst we need the programme prior, the work can safely take place after the building has been registered, so this does not affect the approval timeline.

• Lifts (critical item)

The lifts remain the final major element awaiting sign‑off. Our independent surveyors, RPS, are scheduled to inspect the lifts on Tuesday 17 February. If the inspection goes ahead and no further issues are identified, we expect the contractor to issue the final sign‑offs and updated LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) certificates by Wednesday 18 February. If RPS identify any further remedial works, these would typically require around two weeks to complete, followed by a re‑inspection. We will keep you updated immediately if this becomes the case.

We are projecting that the final set of works and documentation will be completed in the first week of March. The BST then requires approximately two weeks to review and submit to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR). This means we are currently expecting occupation to be possible from late March at the earliest. If anything progresses more quickly, we will update you straight away.

We fully recognise the impact this has but do be assured that we are doing everything we can to bring this process to completion as quickly and safely as possible, and we will continue to keep you updated promptly as each step progresses. Thank you again for your patience — it’s fully appreciated, and we are committed to getting you into your new home as soon as we can.
