Get a selling pre-assignment pack

Your solicitors may need pre-assignment information from us when you sell your ex-Southwark council home. Order a pack.

When you sell your home your solicitor may need pre-assignment information from us.

You can buy a pre-assignment pack from us.

It contains information about your property, including any planned major works. 

It can also be used by your solicitor to complete the Law Society LPE1 form.

For leasehold properties, the pack includes:

  • 3 year service charge history
  • current service charge account balance and statement (including ground rent)
  • details of section 146 notices served on the property for non-payment of service charges, any court fees and interest payable
  • building insurance schedule and policy booklet
  • list of section 20 notices served on the address
  • planned major works for the block and/or estate
  • asbestos risk assessment for the building (communal parts only)
  • notice fee
  • landlord’s name and address
  • details of any management company acting on the council’s behalf

You'll need to request a fire risk assessment separately. It's not included in the pre-assignment pack.

The pre-assignment information does not include a fire risk assessment for the building. We'll request this from the fire safety team. 

They'll send it within 30 working days of you buying your pre-assignment pack.

Cost

The pre-assignment pack costs £269.

We aim to send it within 10 working days.

We can offer a 2 working day service for £368 depending on staffing.
