Vendor Document Chase: A Checklist for Estate Agents in the UK

Why chasing is expensive

Every delayed document pushes enquiries later, where they hurt chains. Agents who front-load vendor tasks win calmer sales progression.

Checklist themes

• Identity of owners and authority to sell.
• EPC validity for marketing.
• Leasehold management ordering early.
• Guarantees for major works.

Collaboration

Agree who requests the management pack (seller or solicitor) and set dates. Ambiguity creates duplicate orders and wasted fees.

Property Passport UK

If the vendor maintains a Property Passport for the address, you can reduce repeated questions and keep a cleaner audit trail under permissions.

What to check next

Use [Property Passport UK](/search) to open the property by address or postcode, then review official context alongside anything you save as Documents for your own workflow.

How Property Passport UK helps

Property Passport UK brings address-level context together in one place so you can prepare questions for your conveyancer and surveyor without treating a portal listing as proof. It does not replace HM Land Registry title, searches, or professional advice.
