Building safety act

JustinTime19

I have a leasehold flat in a 5 storey building but have no cladding etc.

I am currently up for sale and after calling several conveyancers finding it difficult to find conveyancers who will quote.

I came across one conveyancer who wanted £500+vat 

What information should I expect that I need to provide as part of the process.

ACG

Why not ask them?

I did approach a couple of mortgages companies and they said it depends on the conveyancers report to us.

I thought I would reach out to see if someone has experience of this already.

Thanks for your help though !

Your asking the wrong people, ask the conveyancer what they need. 
People on here will likely miss something off, the public facing people at the lenders wont know, neither will brokers. The only people who can give the answer is the conveyancer.

Or someone who has recently gone through the process. Appreciate your thought process on this but interesting to hear someone's experience and what information they were asked to provide (I know the info required will vary depending on mortgage company etc)

Out of curiosity, why are you so against asking them? Am I missing something? I have to be honest in that anything other than that just seems crackers. You would have had your answer by now.

I'd have to agree with ACG, easier to just ask the question from the one source that can give a definitive answer, but if you want to find others in a similar situation you may have more luck on the House Buying/Selling forum...

I haven't sold yet but trying to preempt what is required. Conveyancers won't talk to you about this until your on their books and conveyancers who do building safety act arent as common as they should be. I was hoping someone on this forum had experience of this that could provide insight - nvm thanks anyway

ACG

But it will sell at some point, so why not open a file and get the list? 
Its not like it will be wasted money. 

I will bow out here, you seem very much against the idea so I suppose me going on wont change anything. Best of luck.

If you want to know what they might ask for - here's what the law society tells them to think about.

TA7, LPE1, leaseholder/landlord certificates are the most common.
