Freeholder ignoring requests for EWS1 Survey Looking for some advice on how to progress with this problem. Myself, along with quite a few of the other leaseholders in my block are trying to remortgage and getting refused because of the EWS1 hurdle. We have contacted the management company who have sent 2 separate quotes over to the Freeholders (based in Hong Kong) to approve having the survey completed, as without it nobody can buy/sell/remortgage their flat, but the freeholder is not responding, these quotes were sent over months ago!  


What can we do about this? Surely there must be a way to force having an EWS1 survey done without the freeholders permission as it is having such a significant financial impact on the leaseholders.  


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
