Targeted leasehold risk pages

Leasehold Service Charge Check

Check service charge history, budget variance, reserve-fund strength and missing evidence before exchange.

Best for: Leasehold buyers, investors and advisers comparing annual cost risk.

LPE1 Form Red Flags

Review an LPE1 for missing attachments, inconsistent replies, unsupported figures and escalation points for your conveyancer.

Best for: Buyers, conveyancers and brokers who have just received LPE1 replies or a management pack.

Section 20 Major Works Check

Spot Section 20 and major-works exposure, then request the cost, timing, reserve and apportionment evidence missing from the pack.

Best for: Leasehold buyers and advisers worried about roof, lift, facade, fire-safety or other capital works.

Building Safety Mentions Review

Review fire safety, EWS1, remediation and lender-facing wording without treating vague risk language as verified evidence.

Best for: Buyers, conveyancers and brokers assessing building-safety wording in a leasehold pack.

Leasehold Insurance Anomaly Check

Check buildings insurance schedules for missing pages, premium movement, high excesses, claims history and unusual endorsements.

Best for: Buyers and advisers checking whether insurance risk is hidden behind the annual premium.

Leasehold Admin Fee Audit

Identify notice fees, certificates, deeds, consents, LPE1 charges and other administration fee exposure before completion.

Best for: Buyers and conveyancers who want a clean completion-stage fee schedule.

Ground Rent Escalation Check

Check current ground rent, review dates, escalation formula, deed-of-variation status and lender concerns before exchange.

Best for: Buyers, brokers and conveyancers checking whether ground rent affects finance, value or saleability.

Reserve Fund and Sinking Fund Check

Check reserve-fund balance, contribution authority, planned works coverage and whether future one-off demands are still likely.

Best for: Buyers and investors checking whether reserves reduce future major-works exposure.

Leasehold Pack Missing Documents Check

Prioritise missing lease, LPE1, accounts, budget, insurance, Section 20, building-safety and completion-fee evidence.

Best for: Conveyancers, buyers and brokers checking whether a pack has enough evidence for professional review.

Leasehold Dispute and Tribunal Signal Check

Identify tribunal, arrears, complaint, breach and management-problem signals that need solicitor review before exchange.
