TALK LEGAL

Leasehold Action

A trading name of Talk Legal Limited

Fees

There is no honest single price for every leasehold or Property Tribunal dispute.

A challenge to one item in a service-charge demand may require a limited review. A case involving several years of accounts, numerous leaseholders, expert evidence or an application for the appointment of a manager may require substantial work in stages.

Possible arrangements include:

  • a fixed fee for an initial review and written view;
  • a fixed fee for preparing or responding to an application;
  • staged fees linked to Tribunal directions;
  • a separate fixed fee for final preparation and representation;
  • an agreed hourly rate;
  • an hourly rate subject to a budget or cap.

Talk Legal Limited is not presently registered for VAT, so VAT is not currently added.

No paid work without agreement

Before paid work begins, we will state:

  • what we have agreed to do;
  • what remains your responsibility;
  • the fee or basis of charging;
  • any estimate, budget or cap;
  • what expenses are included or excluded;
  • when payment is required.

Additional work will not be undertaken without agreement.

Other expenditure

Depending on the case, separate expenditure may include Tribunal fees, Land Registry documents, company or property searches, surveyors, valuers, accountants or other experts, copying or bundle costs, travel and accommodation, and fees of another professional separately engaged with your agreement.

Talk Legal does not hold client money. Clients will ordinarily pay Tribunal and third-party charges directly.

Group instructions

Where several leaseholders wish to act together, the quotation will need to address who gives instructions, how decisions are made, whether interests are aligned and how the fee is shared. A joint instruction cannot be accepted where a material conflict exists.
