    How long will it take for the building safety regulator to confirm registration once the application has been submitted?

    Ceri asked about 2 months ago

    The timeframe for confirmation of registration is beyond our direct control. To minimise potential delays, we have established a dedicated building safety team to thoroughly review all documents before submission, aiming to minimise any potential for further questions or errors.

    Thank you for your question.  The original build did not match the manufacturers design specification and so we’ve had to change the materials.  The changes to the materials mean that we can ensure that the fire stopping in the building meets the performance set out in the fire strategy. The previous EWS1 would have been shared with your solicitor previously but it is now not valid.  Yes, that is correct, you can rescind from your contract once the longstop date has passed.  If you do wish to do so, then please do speak to your solicitor and they will take you through the process.  Once the rescission has legally completed the solicitor will then return your deposit and once confirmed we will also arrange the refund of your initial reservation fee.

    Thank you for your question.  Although the works are taking longer than we’d hoped, they are progressing well, and we still estimate that they will be completed by 30 May.   It is just the remedial works that are taking place.  Until the works are complete and signed off, the building is registered and we take handover of keys from our construction team, we are not able to complete the sale and allow occupation.

    Hi, are you able to confirm what week the works started and what they entail?

    Sophiewilson asked 5 months ago

    Thank you for your question.  The works started week commencing 21st October 2024.  Elements have been contracted to survey the fire stopping works that were completed by the previous contractors. This work is required due to the previous contractor going into insolvency, and us being able to provide the required documentation to complete the Fire Risk Assessment. This involves them opening parts of the building to ensure that adequate fire safety measures are in place and making any improvements if necessary. 

    The fire risk assessment will be carried out by IFI, an independent fire safety consultant, and the risk assessment is standard practice on a new build development.  Elements confirm the works are progressing well, and we will keep you updated as the works continue to progress.
