How to read this sample

This page shows the output someone would actually send onward after the review.

What this sample proves

  • The paid product is a full written report, not a teaser page
  • The sample uses a fictitious address and a realistic leasehold scenario
  • The format is built to be shared onward with a buyer or colleague

What to look for while reading

  • How the report separates recurring costs from one-off cost exposure
  • How missing files are surfaced explicitly instead of hidden
  • How the questions section turns findings into an action list

Where it fits

  • A cleaner explanation after the pack is received
  • A structured basis for follow-up questions
  • A buyer-ready summary that is easier to send on than the raw pack

Quick vs full

Document-backed explanation

The full report explains the practical implication, cites the document, prepares the follow-up question, and includes the PDF/export pack.

Report format

The downloadable PDF is part of the report, not an afterthought.

The layout is meant to work on screen, in email chains, and as a saved PDF that can be referred back to later.

What this sample covers

This page already shows both the output and the practical handover story.

The sample report is now the single proof page. It shows the finished output, the kind of issues surfaced, and the sort of handover summary someone would actually send onward after review.

Sample PDF

Trust-first verification

The sample now shows how a finding links back to the actual source clause.

The report is only useful if someone can verify it quickly. This section uses a mixed-format sample pack and the same verification workbench logic used on real matters: click the issue on the left, then inspect the exact cited clause on the right.

What to test

  • Click a finding and LeaseLens jumps straight to the cited PDF, JPEG, email, or text source.
  • The yellow overlay is drawn from deterministic coordinates or text-map matching, not hand-placed demo boxes.
  • This is the part that reduces verification from a separate search task into a direct review workflow.

Mixed source set

This example includes 22 source documents across the formats LeaseLens is expected to handle in practice.

Executive read

What the client or colleague should understand within a few minutes

This sample property may still be workable in principle, but the pack points to elevated cost uncertainty. The strongest pressure points are likely one-off works exposure, a materially rising recurring charge, and incomplete evidence on how well the reserve fund covers future spend.

  • This is a plausible purchase, but the pack does not yet read as clean, cost-certain, or lender-ready.
  • The decisive issue is the unquantified interaction between Section 20 works, reserve fund capacity, and seller/buyer liability at completion.
  • The recurring cost picture also needs care: the current service charge is already materially higher than historic accounts and the next budget direction is still uncertain.
  • The building-safety wording should be converted into a signed lender-facing position before exchange rather than left as a general managing-agent update.
  • A buyer or adviser could proceed only after the missing evidence is produced and the main cost exposures are reduced to clear numbers.

What is most likely to cost money

  • Unfinalised Section 20 contribution for roof, rainwater goods, and lift lobby works
  • Possible 2026 service charge rise if fire-door and reserve catch-up lines remain in the budget
  • Reserve fund may not be enough to absorb planned works without an additional demand
  • Insurance premium and escape-of-water excess are material and claims history is missing
  • Completion admin, notice, certificate, and deed fees total at least £695 on current evidence
  • Ground rent remains £225 per year and should be checked against lender policy and any review wording

Priority flags with evidence

High

Major works exposure is real but not yet pinned to Flat 8

01

Plain-English summary

The pack includes draft Section 20 material for roof covering, rainwater goods, and lift lobby fire-door works. The block-level tender range is shown, but no final Flat 8 apportionment is supplied.

Why it matters

This is the main one-off cost risk. A buyer can complete before the final demand is served and still inherit the practical liability if the lease and completion position are not clarified.

Follow-up question

Please confirm the current Section 20 stage, the latest likely Flat 8 contribution, whether any notice has been served, and whether the seller will retain any liability for pre-completion works.

Document reference

Section20_roof_lobby_notice_draft.pdf, page 3: 'Current tender returns indicate a block-level range of GBP 385,000 to GBP 462,000; individual leaseholder contributions will follow once apportionments are checked.'

High

Building-safety wording is not yet lender-ready

02

Plain-English summary

The managing agent update says fire-door and compartmentation items remain in scope and that final lender wording is being prepared. The pack does not include a signed current EWS1 or equivalent lender-facing confirmation.

Why it matters

This can delay mortgage sign-off or trigger extra conveyancer enquiries even if no immediate remediation bill is stated. The problem is uncertainty, not just cost.

Follow-up question

Please provide the latest signed lender-facing building-safety statement, confirm whether any remediation remains outstanding, and state whether any costs are expected to be passed to leaseholders.

Document reference

Building_safety_update_Apr2026.jpg, page 1: 'Fire-door programme remains in scope and lender wording is still being updated.'

Medium

Service charge has risen sharply and the 2026 direction is not settled

03

Plain-English summary

The supplied accounts and budget show the annual charge increasing from £2,940 in 2022 to £4,215 in 2025. A draft spreadsheet also projects £4,760 for 2026 if fire-door and reserve catch-up lines remain in the budget.

Why it matters

The increase may be justified, but it changes affordability and should be explained before the buyer relies on estate-agent outgoings or mortgage affordability assumptions.

Follow-up question

Please explain the main drivers of the increase, identify any one-off catch-up items, and confirm whether the 2026 projected charge has been approved or is still draft.

Document reference

Medium

Reserve fund exists but looks under-explained against planned spend

04

Plain-English summary

The reserve fund balance is stated as £47,850, but the pack does not include a reserve policy, target balance, or a clear note showing how the fund will be used against the roof and lift lobby programme.

Why it matters

A reserve fund reduces immediate shock only if it is adequate and actually allocated to the relevant works. Without that, the buyer still faces balancing-demand risk.

Follow-up question

Please provide the latest reserve fund statement, target reserve policy, and planned allocation against the roof, fire-door, and lift lobby works.

Document reference

Reserve_fund_note.txt: 'Reserve fund balance at year end was GBP 47,850. No target reserve figure was supplied with this note.'

Medium

Insurance evidence is incomplete for a higher-risk block profile

05

Plain-English summary

The schedule shows a building-level premium of £38,760 and a £5,000 escape-of-water excess, but the full wording and claims history are not in the pack.

Why it matters

The premium and excess are not automatically unreasonable, but they should be reconciled with the block's claims history and any building-safety or water-ingress issues.

Follow-up question

Please provide the full insurance policy wording, last three years' claims summary, broker schedule, and confirmation of the Flat 8 contribution to the premium.

Document reference

Insurance_summary.png, page 1: 'Buildings insurance excess for escape of water is GBP 5,000.'

Low

Completion requirements are fragmented across notes and emails

06

Plain-English summary

The pack refers to notice fees, deed of covenant, landlord certificate wording, and possible licence-to-assign approval, but there is no single clean completion fee schedule.

Why it matters

This is unlikely to be the headline decision point, but it can create avoidable late-stage delay if the buyer's solicitor has to chase the managing agent for a definitive list.

Follow-up question

Please provide one consolidated completion requirements note covering notices, deed of covenant, landlord certificate, licence-to-assign position, payment instructions, and VAT treatment.

Document reference

completion-fee-screenshot.jpg, page 1: 'Certificate, deed of covenant and notice fees total GBP 695 inclusive of VAT.'

Likely transaction drag

  • Lender or broker may ask for signed building-safety wording before accepting the file
  • The buyer's solicitor is likely to raise enquiries on the missing Flat 8 works apportionment
  • The managing agent has not supplied one definitive completion requirements schedule
  • Reserve-fund adequacy is asserted indirectly rather than shown through a target policy or works allocation
  • Insurance wording and claims history are incomplete for a block with active works and water-risk indicators
  • Some pack documents appear to be working notes, screenshots, or partial updates rather than final position documents
