Real building questions
The question is usually simple. The source route is not.
These answers point to the first useful check. They do not turn a general question into a verdict about your building.
Repairs, money and management
Questions asked by boards and managing agents.
A leak is coming through the ceiling. Who pays?
Stop the damage and trace the source first. The repair covenant, cause, conduct and insurance terms decide which questions remain open.
Open the leak guide →Do we need to consult leaseholders?
Identify the arrangement and each leaseholder's expected contribution before choosing a Section 20 route. The contract total alone is not the test.
Open Section 20 →Can we collect now for future work?
Start with the lease power, the work being funded and the money already held. There is no universal reserve percentage.
Open reserve funds →What should our managing agent actually do?
Read the signed appointment. Make the services, authority, reporting, reserved decisions and handover obligations visible.
Open the agent role →Using, paying for or selling the flat
Questions asked by leaseholders.
Can I rent out my flat?
Read the covenant first. It may prohibit subletting, allow it, or require consent or notice. Mortgage, insurance and tenancy rules are separate checks.
Open subletting →Do I need consent for the work?
Identify the part of the flat, the alteration covenant and who decides. Do not rely on whether the work feels minor.
See LEASE-iQ questions →The bill jumped. Does that make it unreasonable?
A rise is a reason to ask what changed. Lease authority, necessity, procurement, amount, standard and evidence all matter.
Open service charges →What should I check before exchange?
Read the lease and title alongside the service-charge, reserve, works, insurance and management records. Sales particulars cannot answer those questions.

Questions about the product and access.
Why not just upload the lease to a general AI tool?
LEASE-iQ structures the lease, connects current sources, compares candidate answers and keeps the signed clause open for verification.
See the difference →Is the free one-lease account live?
The offer is limited to one active lease, but access is still opened by request until self-registration and its controls are released.
Request access →Does LEASE-iQ give legal advice?
It organises the document, current sources, reasoning and uncertainty. Disputed, ambiguous or consequential matters may still require professional judgment.

Build a source map before asking for a conclusion.
Use this when the issue is unclear or several clauses may interact.
Keep checking: A well-structured question makes uncertainty easier to see. It does not turn incomplete sources into certainty.
