Leasehold Pack Missing Documents Check

Missing documents create false comfort: the report may show no issue simply because the evidence needed to identify it is absent.

Built for England & Wales leasehold transactions.

Legal caution

This page is informational only, not legal advice. It does not tell you whether to exchange, proceed, renegotiate, or withdraw. Verify the issue against source documents and obtain professional advice before relying on it for legal, financial, or transactional decisions.

Checklist

  • Mark each missing item as critical, recommended or contextual.
  • Check whether the LPE1 references attachments that were not supplied.
  • Prioritise lease, current budget, accounts, insurance and works/safety documents.
  • Ask whether the missing document exists, is being updated or is unavailable.
  • Keep a written record of requests and replies before exchange.

Warning signals

  • Current accounts, budget or insurance schedule missing.
  • Section 20 or building-safety documents referenced but absent.
  • Pack contains summaries but not source documents.
  • Latest/final version of key files cannot be confirmed.

Questions to ask

  • Please provide every missing document listed below or confirm why it is unavailable.
  • Which supplied documents are the latest final versions?
  • Is any summary being relied on instead of source evidence?
  • Which missing documents does the conveyancer require before exchange?
