EWS1 Decision Tree
Published 12 May 2026
Effective from 1 November 2026
RICS has published a second edition of the Secured lending valuation in multi-storey, multi-occupancy residential buildings with cladding standard. It sets out updated proportionate criteria for valuers undertaking valuations for secured lending purposes on domestic residential blocks of flats that are four storeys or less, in the UK.
It has been produced to help valuers understand when an EWS1 form should be required due to visible cladding. Whilst specifically targeted at UK valuers, the guidance will be useful for all stakeholders involved in the buying and selling of residential properties with cladding.
