Identify five documents that you would include in the pre-contract package to be sent to the buyer's lawyers on your client's sale of 25 Kynaston Road.

• A. Draft Contract in duplicate; Fixtures & Contents Form (TA10); Official copy register entries and title plan; Official copy of the Conveyance dated 2 August 1988; Energy Performance Certificate
• B. Draft Contract in duplicate only
• C. Fixtures & Contents Form only
• D. Official copy register entries only

Answer: (A)

In a seller’s pre-contract package, the aim is to give the buyer’s solicitors enough information to verify title, understand exactly what is included in the sale, and ensure compliance with legal requirements before contracts are exchanged. The best set of documents includes:

• Draft Contract in duplicate so the buyer can review and sign and return it.

• Fixtures & Contents Form (TA10) to specify what items stay with the property.

• Official copies of the register entries and title plan to prove title and show boundaries.

• Official copy of the Conveyance dated 2 August 1988 to confirm the chain of title and the underlying ownership history.

• Energy Performance Certificate to comply with legal disclosure requirements and inform the buyer about energy efficiency.

These items together give a complete picture: the contractual terms, what’s included in the sale, proof of title, the history of ownership, and energy efficiency information. The other options omit one or more essential elements (for example, lacking the contract, lacking the TA10, lacking title evidence, or lacking the EPC), so they do not provide a full pre-contract package.
