Sell around the cladding. Skip the EWS1. — in Swansea.
Your flat has a cladding or fire safety problem. Mortgage lenders won't touch it. Estate agents won't list it. Our buyers in this category are specialist funds that take cladding risk and finance the purchase themselves — no EWS1 form, no lender questionnaire, no 9-month wait for a fire safety assessment. Specifically for Swansea and the surrounding West Glamorgan area.
How it works in Swansea
- You tell us the building's status (which cladding system, whether an EWS1 has been issued, current fire risk assessment).
- We route to cladding-specialist buyers who actively underwrite these assets.
- Completion in 8-12 weeks. No lender involvement on the buy side.
What we'll need from you
- The full address and the building name (if a flat in a block)
- Which cladding system is on the building (ACM, HPL, timber, etc.)
- Whether an EWS1 form has been attempted
What we sidestep (and the standard alternatives)
- The standard 'wait for the EWS1' advice from high-street agents
- Selling at 30% below market value to a fire-sale buyer
- A 2-year wait for remediation works

No. Specialist buyers price in the cladding discount themselves. You'll get a fair offer, just not at the un-cladded rate. We can usually get within 15-20% of the un-cladded value.
Most cladding buyers will take the property with the existing lease structure. They don't typically require the freeholder to fix the cladding first.
