Fellow Safety Practioner’s, quick one, the new EWS 1 Form developed by RICS to assess residential apartment buildings where the highest floor is 18m or more above ground level or where specific concerns exist. My question is who believes that this form is not worth the paper it is printed on, as I have clients that think this because it has a really “Tight” Caveat “This review is for the sole and exclusive use of the client organisation named below. No responsibility is accepted to any third party for the whole or any part if its contents (Note 4). For the avoidance of doubt, the term 'third party' includes (but is not limited to): any lender who may see the review during the process through which they come to make a loan secured on any part of the Subject Address; and any prospective purchaser who may see the review during the process through which they come to purchase an interest in any part of the Subject Address. Does this just dance round the issue? All opinions will be greatly received. Edited by user 14 February 2020 12:54:02(UTC)

Many caveats such as this have been found to be worthless when tested in Court. But in view of what is happening in the Grenfell Inquiry we have to be careful what we put on this Forum.

I don'y have an issue with the clause, which is only concerned with excluding indemnity/ liability to third parties -standard stuff.
If I was making a major purchase, I'd want my own report and I'd want it to contain sample analysis reports by an accredited laboratory.
Not to be confused with Buyer's Survey Reports (a mandatory ask by most lenders) which IMO aren't worth the paper and are a bit of a scam.
