This Portal provides a central
readily-accessible location
for EWS-1 forms pertaining
to the
fire safety
of external cladding on high rise [over 18 m height] buildings.
Assessors must first register in order to be able to submit or complete forms
on-line. As part of
this process, you must present evidence of applicable professional memberships and
qualifications prior
to your application being approved. On your registration being approved, you may submit
existing forms
or complete new forms on-line, both these options being subject to further checks prior to
upload onto
the site.
Buyers, sellers, lenders, insurers or those otherwise having an interest in
particular properties
in high rise buildings will be able to search for buildings by post code, after which any
building
having this post code will appear with its full postal address. You will then be able to
view and
download the EWS-1 form free of charge.
