The UK's National Cladding Dataset for Tall Buildings
Current cladding status for over 1.12m dwellings in buildings of 18m+ and 11-18m
The National Cladding Dataset
The UK’s National Cladding Dataset was launched in February 2023 and is regularly updated to provide the current cladding status of each of the High-Rise (18m+) or Mid-Rise (11-18m) Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs) and of the 1,122,004 individual residential dwellings within them across the UK.
The dataset was created through the partnership between property data specialists WhenFresh (subsequently acquired by PriceHubble) and a team of over 600 RICS surveyors, whereby each MDU is classified with a RED, AMBER or GREEN status.
The dataset is regularly updated due to the rolling program of RICS surveyor property inspections and movement between classifications due to remediation.
In addition to the RED/AMBER/GREEN cladding status classification, the following is supplied where available:
> The date on which the EWS1 was signed.
> The EWS1 classification: A1, A2, A3, B1 or B2.
> Any expert notes/covering letter provided by the RICS surveyors pertaining to each inspection.
This UK National Cladding Dataset can be appended at individual property level to an address file (or UPRNs, UDPRNs or Title numbers) for flat-file delivery, or can be accessed via API.
Red / Amber / Green classification
RED – Building has cladding. (EWS1 form recorded in Cladding Database with classification A3 or B2, or other known adverse factors from alternative sources).
AMBER – Building potentially has cladding, merits EWS1 inspection. (Identified as potentially in scope, as per the RICS Cladding Guidance Note, no EWS1 form held currently).
GREEN – Building has no cladding. (Specifically: EWS1 form recorded in Cladding Database with classification A1, A2 or B1 or considered to be out of scope as per the RICS Cladding Guidance Note).
Mark Cunningham, PriceHubble’s UK Managing Director states: “We expected the original cladding dataset launch to be well received, but we were staggered by the level of interest from mortgage lenders, insurers, reinsurers and other parties. We’re therefore fully confident that the ongoing investments made in expanding the reach, breadth and depth of the dataset as it continues to evolve, will bring significant further benefits and risk insights for those who need to properly understand property cladding risk.”
