What is a leasehold management pack?
A leasehold management pack is the bundle of information a buyer's conveyancer needs about a building when a leasehold flat is sold. At its heart is the completed LPE1 form, wrapped around a set of supporting documents.
What a management pack contains
- The completed LPE1 (and often the LPE2 summary for lenders).
- The current buildings insurance schedule.
- Recent service charge accounts and the current budget.
- The reserve fund position.
- The latest fire risk assessment.
- Details of planned or ongoing major works.
- Relevant company and lease information.
- Any building-safety documents that apply.
Who prepares it
Whoever manages the building: a managing agent, a freeholder, or in a self-managed block the RMC or RTM company. The seller usually pays for it, because the seller must provide information to the buyer.
Why it matters
The transaction waits for the pack. A clear, well-sourced pack keeps a sale moving; a slow or incomplete one triggers rounds of enquiries and is a common cause of delay. Buyers, solicitors and lenders all rely on it.

Peppercorn One assembles the whole pack from the documents you already hold, and retains the record so the next one starts substantially pre-filled.
