Additional update 15 November

We have added three new FAQs to the webpage. These are an amalgamation of some of the queries received since our latest update.

1. Can you clarify when I will be able to move into my new home? I need to give notice/my mortgage offer is about to run out.
2. Can you speed up/prioritise completion of my flat as my housing situation is urgent?
3. BSR Gateway 3 application has a determination period of 8 weeks from submission of the relevant documents. If PC is around Christmas, why are we targeting occupation in April?

Our responses can be found here in the FAQs under Programme and Occupation.

We have also edited the Update dated 13 November for clarity as follows:

Timeline to occupation

Block C

We expect to take handover of the whole of Block C in one go although, if necessary, the lower ground floors affected by the water ingress may follow later.

Once we have accepted handover of each block [added 15/11/24], we will work with buyers and their solicitors to agree completion dates. In doing this we will take into consideration your current accommodation circumstances and the status of your mortgage. Different lenders will require different notice periods to draw down funds and this will also impact who we are able to prioritise. We will also work with buyers who wish to have an extended notice period.

We will manage the number of sales completions each day due to restricted parking for removal vans and to avoid the lift being overworked with moving furniture.

Based on our previous experience we anticipate PC will be after Christmas. Please note, we are not able to prioritise or speed up handover of individual flats prior to PC (added 15/11/24 to clarify this point).
