    Thank you for your question. We cannot guarantee any dates, the submission has been made to the building safety regulator, but as this is an external process, we do not have control over the timescales and cannot guarantee specific dates. However, once confirmation of registration is received, we will serve notice to complete to your solicitors without delay.  Our sales progressor Alisha, will be in touch this week to discuss individual circumstances.

    Thank you for your question.  We have received the information we requested from the manufacturer and we await the building safety teams confirmation that this is sufficient to proceed with the submission.

    Thank you for your question.  Herald Street (Corner Place) is subject to the transitional arrangements within the The Building (Higher-Risk Buildings Procedures) (England) Regulations 2023. This means the BSR is not the building control body for this project, and we will not receive a completion certificate from the BSR for this scheme. However, we have received the building control certificate from our building control body, who is LABC (Tower Hamlets).

    For transitional schemes, the building control certificate is used when registering the building, which we will do upon completion of the scheme. Once the BSR approve the registration, we will receive an email reference which will allow us to occupy the building. 

  • Share Thank you for the latest update. Can you confirm that only confirmation of submission of the BSR is required to start moving, and not a full approval response (an 8+ week wait based on some looking up)? And if so, is this because this is social housing specifically? How does this work? on Facebook Share Thank you for the latest update.

    Thank you for your question.  That's correct, we don't need to wait for the full registration we only need the Building Safety Regulator to confirm receipt of the submission which usually takes around 5 working days.

  • Share In your latest response to Alex M’s question, you state that the Building Safety Team may still advise during their audit that the pack is not yet ready for submission. This is extremely disappointing, particularly given that you previously confirmed the Building Safety Team has had access to all relevant documentation for several months. If this is the case, can you explain why the review process is now taking so long and why there remains uncertainty at this very late stage? The clear expectation was that documents would be reviewed and signed off as they were received, so that submission could proceed immediately once the final items were completed, rather than facing the risk of further delay due to a full re-review now. Shouldn’t the internal team only be confirming the very final point around the smoke ventilation at this stage? on Facebook Share In your latest response to Alex M’s question, you state that the Building Safety Team may still advise during their audit that the pack is not yet ready for submission.
