What does a "Management Pack" contain?

dowpic

At some time I will have to ask the management company for a Management Pack if I sell my freehold property (I believe the "Pack" cost about £300)
This is because I pay an annual fee towards the maintenance of communal land and open spaces.

The management company will not answer my question directly but do say it contains a statement that I am up to date with my annual maintenance payments.
So I have been trying to find out EXACTLY what a Management Pack contains so I'm prepared but can only find that a FME1 (Freehold Management Form) is required.

Can anyone tell me if anything else is needed, or Is the word "Pack" misleading.

The OP says their property is freehold - so it's almost certainly a house. The OP also says:

So an "External Wall System" (EWS) certificate won't be relevant.


An EWS1 form might be relevant for a leasehold flat, but the management pack for that would be different from what @chanz4 describes. For example, it wouldn't include an FME1 form, but it would include an LPE1 form.

Thanks everyone for your comments. 
Yes, the EWS won't be needed because my management agreement only relates to external communal spaces.

Thanks chanz4,
The deed of covenant is written into the Land Registry/House Deeds so the convayancing solicitor would have that. Is it likely that the management company would provide that paperwork as well ?

I sold my freehold which had a management pack, it included FME1
