Update 15/08/2025

Good afternoon

Following our last update issued on 09 July 2025, I am writing to provide you with the most recent information regarding the progress and anticipated timelines for the occupation of your new homes at Corner Place.

Summary of Progress

  • Following the site meeting on 11 August, we were pleased to find Elements had completed the majority of the fire remedial works.
  • The minor roof leak has been repaired, and the remedial decorative works to the affected properties is well underway with just floor finishing outstanding. This will not delay occupation.

Remaining Hurdles

  • One of the remaining outstanding fire remedial items is a new issue, which our independent consultant IFI has raised during their recent inspection, and is to do with ductwork in the bin store. Elements is looking at solutions acceptable to IFI, and we expect to know this by the end of next week.

The main items still to be finalised relate to the BSR registration, which is a critical step before occupation can be granted. These include:

  • Receiving firestopping reports, a Pre-Occupation Fire Risk Assessment (FRA), and a third-party inspection summary from IFI.
  • Updating plans and reviewing drawings for the remedial works.
  • Reviewing the updated Operations & Maintenance (O&M) manual.
  • Initial walk-throughs show that any remaining snagging items, such as shrinkage cracks, are minimal and will be addressed.

Based on these factors above, the anticipated occupation for Corner Place has been revised to the end of October. The new timeline is primarily due to the ongoing process of compiling critical documentation for the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) submission.

New Anticipated Timeline

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

In the meantime, we are looking to arrange access for you to view and measure up your new home W/C 1 September and your Sales Executive, Asta, will be in touch to agree this date. If you require an extended notice period on your existing tenancies, or if your mortgage offer is due to expire, please discuss your options with your Sales Progressor, Alisha.

Thank you for your continued patience. I understand the frustration that these delays have caused, and I want to assure you that we remain committed to providing transparent and accurate updates and ensuring you can move into your new home as soon as the work is completed and we are satisfied that it is safe to do so.

Another update will be issued by Friday 29 August, unless anything changes in the meantime and then we will update you straight away.

With kind regards

Vikki Walker – Director of Sales & Marketing

Luke Chandler – Director of Delivery
