If certain documents (i.e. searches, leasehold information, evidence of title for unregistered home and leasehold/commonhold information) cannot be obtained in time, sellers can start marketing with a Pack that includes an index, sale statement, evidence of title and an Energy Performance Certificate only.

However, the seller must be able to show that the missing items have been commissioned, and are expected to arrive as soon as practicable - certainly no later than 28 days of the property being put on the market.
