Residents haven’t been updated by housing association Optivo and our properties are near worthless
I part-own my flat as part of the share-to-buy scheme. When I tried to access a fire safety form (EWS1) to increase my ownership share last October, the housing association, Optivo, told me the building had failed its fire safety inspection.
The fire safety officer advised me that there was a problem with the material behind the concrete facade and that the external walls would all need rebuilding. He estimated this would take up to five years.
