In the first instance, you could ask the seller to provide this information.
During the conveyancing process, your solicitor will ask certain questions of your seller’s solicitor and to the landlord or management directly. These questions allow your solicitor to form a picture of the property, the condition of the building, and the landlord’s projected plans for the building.
The LPE1 form is the document sent to landlords which contains the necessary questions about future works of repair. Make sure you fully review the replies to this form when your solicitor sends it on to you and if you have any doubts raise them with your solicitor.
For more on this, we have a webinar that explains the purpose of the LPE1 form and the information it contains.
