Compare the charge without pretending the comparison decides it.
Start with what the lease permits, then separate the demand, actual expenditure, evidence and building characteristics. A comparison can reveal questions. It cannot prove that a charge is fair, unfair, payable or reasonable.
How it works
The whole task, before you start entering details.
Use the five stages in order. You can move back at any point when a missing document or fact changes the position.
01State the situation
Say what has happened without deciding the legal answer.
02Gather the evidence
Mark what you have and keep every missing item visible.
03Ask one question
Build a focused LEASE-iQ question from the facts supplied.
04Check the answer
Open the lease pages and current sources behind each point.
05Take the next action
Resolve what you can and hand off what still needs judgment.
You are acting asLeaseholder, buyer, director, managing agent or organisation
Other partyThe person or organisation explaining the other building, year or charge
How this page helpsIndividual review or shared evidence
Step 1
Describe the situation without deciding the answer.
Use figures only to describe the charge and change. The result must remain neutral about fairness and payability.
Step 2
Tick the documents and facts you have. Leave anything you do not know blank.
The answer must show what was reviewed, what was missing and what could reverse the result.
Step 3
Ask LEASE-iQ one focused question.
The prompt keeps lease facts, current law, missing evidence, interpretation and next action separate.
