Corner Place

An updated table of works for Corner Place has been added to the documents section of this webpage.

We are aiming for all items to be closed out by 19 December so that we can submit the registration request to our internal building safety team before the Christmas break with an aim to submit to the Building Safety Regulator in January. We still anticipate occupations in January 2026.

We will update you again by Monday 22 December to confirm that we’ve submitted the registration request internally.

A revised table of outstanding works at Corner Place has been added to the documents section of this webpage, we still anticipate occupations in January 26.

We will provide another update by Tuesday 9 December.

Following the meeting on Monday with our Building Safety Team, there are still items outstanding and we therefore do not anticipate being able to achieve occupations in December.

An update on the works and documentation:

• Works to the fire doors are all complete, checked and signed off
• We’ve had the FRA and fire stopping close-out reports – these are with our internal team for review.
• Following our internal maintenance contractors checks some additional work on the smoke vents has been identified. We’re in the process of organising for this work to be completed.
• HIU commissioning certificates – we received the full set of certificates, but some didn’t have the full address and postcode on them, so we’re had to request these are re-issued
• The CHP and Boiler have both been commissioned however some remedial works have been identified to both. The Boiler works were previously booked for 13/11; this had to be rescheduled to today due to staff availability. We’re waiting for a date for the CHP works.
• The UPS is booked in for commissioning checks on 28/11.

We will provide a revised table detailing all outstanding items and any further information in our next update on Tuesday 25 November. We still anticipate occupation in January.

Please find within the documents section an updated table detailing our current progress. We are pleased to report that we have successfully received two key documents: the Regulation 38 and the Height Safety Equipment Certificates.

As you will see in the table, there are still a few remaining items outstanding, for which we have provided the expected dates of receipt.

We had previously communicated that we would be able to submit all necessary information to our internal building safety team for final approval mid-November. Due to the remaining outstanding items, this internal submission date will now move toward the end of November. However, we still anticipate being able to submit for registration to the Building Safety Regulator before Christmas, with occupations beginning as planned in January 2026.

We will provide another update by 25 November 2025.

Good afternoon,

I hope this message finds you well.

Please find attached the latest progress table for Corner Place, outlining the key milestones on our journey toward Building Safety Registration and eventual handover.

We’re pleased to confirm that surge protection has now been successfully installed, closing out that item. The water booster commissioning was completed on the 22nd, and fire damper test results have been received and are currently under review by Southern Housing.

We continue to actively follow up with the contractor for the remaining certificates required to finalise the Building Safety Regulatory (BSR) pack. This is essential for our internal team to complete their review and sign-off before submission to the BSR and subsequent internal handover.

Based on current progress, we remain on track to submit the necessary documentation to our internal Building Safety team by mid-November, with final submission to the BSR anticipated by the end of November. Once we receive the BSR reference, we will issue the 10-day notice as previously outlined. While 10 days is the contractual minimum, we’re happy to work flexibly with you—whether that means accelerating the timeline or extending it to a full calendar month to support rental transitions.

We continue to target a realistic occupation date of January 2026. Should opportunities arise to bring this forward, we will do our utmost to make that happen.

Our next update will be provided by 11^th November.

Kind regards

Please find within the documents section of this webpage, a table detailing the items that are currently outstanding for Corner Place, including who is responsible for each item and the date it is expected.

Based on this remaining work, we anticipate submitting all necessary information to our internal building safety team for final approval in mid-November. Once accepted, we can formally take handover and register the scheme with the Building Safety Regulator. We continue to predict January 2026 for occupation to provide maximum certainty during the run-up to the Christmas period. However, if your homes are ready sooner, we will proactively work with your solicitors to facilitate an earlier completion date.

In recognition of the continued delays and uncertainty, we are now going to offer some financial support as a goodwill gesture to those who have committed to continue with the sale. The offer is as follows:

• Storage costs from July 2025, when we informed of the September deadline which hasn’t been met.
• 2 furniture moves either between storage or between temporary accommodation (we will not cover removal from storage/accommodation to Corner Place on completion)
• Mortgage arrangement and re-valuation costs for those that have had to remortgage and have incurred costs

All will be paid upon completion subject to receipts for payment and will only be paid to those who continue with the purchase, if you chose to withdraw, we would not pay these costs.

We will provide another update by Tuesday 28 October.

The latest update on progress is that all fire doors have been reinspected, and it was highlighted that some of the doors need adjusting. This is normal as fire doors move over the course of time. And the work will be carried out within the next ten days.

We can also confirm that most of the commissioning certs have now been received and are being reviewed. During our review it was discovered that there was missing electrical surge protection, and our engineers have been scheduled to attend and do a survey of the incoming mains and establish what work is required to fit the relevant surge protection device. This appointment has been rearranged from Monday, and the engineers will now be attending site on Thursday. This system is essential for protecting the building's electrical infrastructure in the event of a lightning strike or other electrical surges.

We understand that repeated small delays and ongoing uncertainty are stressful, especially as just adding a couple of weeks to the timeline would cause issues with completing before the cut-off dates with solicitors for December. To give you more clarity, we will delay occupation until January 2026 to allow you to make a more informed decision on your accommodation. If this date can be improved, then we will of course do all we can to get you into your homes sooner but would not expect you to do so if you have secured your accommodation. We will also continue to provide regular updates on a two-weekly basis, with our next update being sent by 14 October 2025.

We fully recognise the frustration and disappointment this extended period of uncertainty has caused and apologise sincerely for these continued delays.

Kind regards

Richard White

Executive Director of Development

Good afternoon

Please find to follow the latest update on progress at Corner Place:

• The fire remedial works are ongoing. Elements and IFI have agreed a solution in principle to the outstanding issue around the ductwork to the bin store, we await costs and a programme of works – Programme of works received, and works will be complete by 19th September.
• The remedial decorative works are ongoing but will not delay occupation – Snagging and flooring works are to be completed but as stated this won’t delay occupation.

The items that were outstanding for the BSR registration remain outstanding and are as follows: -

• Firestopping reports, a Pre-Occupation Fire Risk Assessment (FRA), and a third-party inspection summary from IFI - The FRA has been completed but there are a few items to address; third party inspection summary from IFI is ongoing; fire stopping close-out report will be finalised once ductwork insulation has completed.
• Updated plans and review of drawings for the remedial works - ongoing
• Review of the updated Operations & Maintenance (O&M) manual - The critical item for PC is receipt of all commissioning certificates which are now likely to be received at the end of September.

Based on the above, we are adjusting the timeline to allow for receipt and checking of the above documentation for the BSR registration:

• End-September: Remedial works are expected to be completed, and Practical Completion (PC) will be reached.
• Mid-October: The BSR registration will be submitted internally to our building safety team, pending receipt of all necessary documents
• End of October: The BSR registration will be submitted to the building safety regulator
• First week of November: The BSR reference number is expected to be received, and keys will be handed over to the Sales team
• Second week of November: Solicitors will serve the 10-day notice to residents
• End of November: The occupation period will begin

We will work to try and better these dates. The next update will be on 30th September but if anything changes before this date, we will be in touch.

Many thanks
