1. Who people usually speak to
- Depends on the subjectfor usually a solicitor for rights and notices, a surveyor for property and cost questions
People in your position usually speak to a solicitor or a surveyor, depending on the subject.
2. What a first step can cost
Depends who you need. Some firms offer a short free first call; ask for a fee quote.
3. Time limits
If the letter gives a date to reply or act, a solicitor should know about it before then.
We don't calculate or watch deadlines. If a date in your document is close, speak to a solicitor now; a pack can still help you brief them.
4. Free or cheaper routes
Some firms offer a short free first call. Check your home or business insurance for legal expenses cover.
5. What a CaseReader pack gives you before that call
You arrive with
- What the letter says, tied to the lease clause it relies on
- Any dates listed
- Who usually handles this, and what to ask them
What it can't do
- Reply to the landlord for you
- Give advice on your situation: it prepares you for that conversation
Every point cites its clause and page, and a person checks the pack before it reaches you.
6. An example of what we mark
Fictional example
LetterWe write to give notice that, under clause 3.4 of the Lease, the Landlord intends to recover the cost of the roof works through the service charge.
Not from a real document. A real pack marks your own pages, with a note against each point.
