Who can use this service?
Only leaseholders or their solicitor can make a request for a pre-assignment pack.

If you would like a pack relating to a property on the Myatts Field North Estate, please note that Lambeth Council does not supply this service. You will need to contact Pinnacle Group directly:
- Phone: 0203 771 0151
- Email: MFNCustomerService@pinnaclegroup.co.uk.
Cost for this service
The cost of this service is £200.
We will aim to send you the pre-assignment pack by email within 15 working days of payment.
What you need to know...
The sale or remortgage of a leasehold property will need our response to several questions. These relate to the lease or transfer of covenants and other management information.
If you’re a leaseholder and selling your home, you or your solicitor may be asked to obtain pre-assignment information from us. This is a standard pack of details about your property, including any planned major works.
The pre-assignment information for leasehold properties includes:
- a three-year service charge history
- current service charge account balance and statement, including ground rent
- lease provisions about the payment of service charge
- breaches of lease and further details of breach
- a list of section 20 notices served on the address
- planned major works for the block and/or estate
- landlord’s name and address
- notice fee.
- number of properties in the block
- a fire risk assessment for the building
- information on asbestos
- building insurance information.
You will need to request these separately.
If you’re a solicitor and your client is buying a Lambeth leasehold property, then please ask the seller’s solicitor to request the pre-assignment pack, as some information is covered under data protection.
