Property Passport Buyer Due Diligence Checklist (UK)

How to use this checklist

Use it to structure questions and to decide what evidence you still need. If you are viewing a Public Passport, treat each section as “known vs unknown,” not “everything that exists.”

Checklist (high level)

1. Title and tenure: freehold vs leasehold; ground rent and service charge if leasehold.

2. EPC: rating, date, and recommended improvements (where shown).

3. Planning and alterations: consents for extensions and loft conversions.

4. Insurance signals: flood and subsidence clues; do not self-diagnose—use surveys.

5. Operational costs: council tax band, utilities realities (where available).

6. Next step: instruct a conveyancer early; align questions to their search pack.

Pair with the product story

If a Property Passport is available for the home, use it to reduce repeated requests for the same Documents—then validate anything material with professionals.
