Thinking of selling your leasehold property?

If you are selling your leasehold property your solicitor can request a pre-assignment pack, also called a seller's pack, which will contain the information you need to sell your property.

What will I need?

The buyer's solicitor will request information from the landlord to help with the sale and to let the buyer know what is involved in owning a property with the Royal Borough of Greenwich as the freeholder.

What does the pack include?

The pack includes details of:

  • past and present service charge accounts
  • the insurance schedule
  • proposed major works that will affect the property
  • requirements for transferring ownership of the property.

How do I get a pre-assignment pack?

To request a pre-assignment pack, your solicitor should contact the Home Ownership Service.

What does it cost?

The standard fee is £200. Your pack will be dispatched within 10 days of your request.

Right to Buy discount

Don't forget, if you bought your flat through the Right to Buy scheme and were given a discount on the purchase, you may need to pay back some of the discount when you sell.
