Your question, ready to paste

Please read the signed lease I have uploaded, together with any variations I have supplied.

Find the clauses and schedules that say which service costs I must contribute to, how my share is worked out, and when payment is due. Explain any limits, exclusions, reserve-fund terms and requirements for budgets, accounts or certificates. Identify what I would need to provide to check a particular charge.

Quote the short wording you rely on and give the clause or schedule and page for each point. Say clearly if something is ambiguous or not found. Separate the lease wording from current-law questions and facts needing other evidence. Do not guess or decide whether I should pay, withhold payment or take legal action.

Nothing is sent automatically.

For a complex issue

Ask LEASE-iQ to draft your solicitor’s brief.

Use the same conversation in which you have explored the issue. LEASE-iQ can organise your account, the outcome you want, correspondence and missing evidence into a draft for a specialist property solicitor.

One request at a time. Explore the lease, check the sources, then ask for a short draft brief. Check its facts and references before sharing it.

Describe the issue, your role and the outcome you want. Say what is known, disputed or missing.
Work through one lease question at a time and open the relevant sources. Confirm any checks you have actually made.
First ask: “Summarise only the status of the correspondence. Distinguish what is known from what is unknown.” Then copy the short brief request below. Ask separately: “Check your draft against the facts I supplied. Which factual details or assumptions have you added that I have not confirmed?” Review the revision before sharing it.

Check these points before sharing the draft

Your account is distinguished from established facts, disputed points and assumptions.
A draft is not described as sent. Missing correspondence or dates are marked unknown.
The correct lease and other documents are identified. Another flat’s terms are not assumed.
Every source reference is attached and checked, or its absence is made explicit.
The note asks a focused question for the solicitor. It does not decide the dispute.

Nothing is sent to the solicitor or LEASE-iQ by this page.

Use the answer properly

Open the clause before acting.

LEASE-iQ organises the first answer linked to its sources. A missing document, disputed fact, ambiguous clause or material consequence may still require a solicitor, surveyor, accountant or other qualified professional.
