Putney has a growing number of residential buildings requiring EWS1 certification, including riverside apartment developments, purpose-built blocks and modern residential schemes. Mortgage lenders increasingly require these certificates for property transactions involving flats in buildings over 11 metres.

Without a satisfactory EWS1 rating, mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on affected flats. This can significantly delay property transactions in Putney's active market.
Traditional brick buildings may still require assessment if they have had later additions of external insulation, render systems or balcony modifications. Many achieve favourable ratings relatively quickly.
Desktop review and site inspection typically takes one to two days. The certificate is issued within two to three weeks of the inspection.
