Buying the Freehold Checklist — Leaseholders in a Block of Flats, England & Wales (Editable Word)
Leaseholders thinking of buying the freehold of your building together? Start organised. This checklist gathers who is taking part and the papers a solicitor will ask for.
What's inside:
• Who's in the conversation: flats, participants, who hasn't replied, nominee, solicitor
• The papers list: leases, title numbers, ground rents, plans, any named management company
• What happens after a solicitor is instructed
• A note on the 2025 change removing the two-year ownership wait
Editable Word (.docx), 3 pages, red-bracket fill-in fields.
Self-help template, not legal advice. It is not a claim notice; your solicitor prepares any notice and transfer.
