Request for Fixed-Fee Quote: Letter Before Action - Unfair Contract Terms (Consumer Landlord) - UK bidders only
Budget: £100 – £250 GBP
I am seeking a fixed-fee quote from a solicitor specialising in property/consumer law to draft and send a formal 'Letter Before Action'.
1. The Core Dispute:
I am an individual landlord ("consumer landlord") in a dispute with my corporate letting agent. The agent's standard contract contains Clause 8.5 (making me liable for all eviction costs for their sub-tenants) and Clause 8.4.1 (automatic 24-month renewal). I believe these are unfair terms under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The agent denies the CRA applies.
2. The Specific Service I Require:
I need a solicitor to draft and send a robust Letter Before Action to the agent's registered office. The letter must:
Formally state my position as a consumer landlord under the CRA 2015.
Detail why Clauses 8.5 and 8.4.1 are unfair terms.
Demand that within 14 days, they either agree to enter into mediation or provide a lawful proposal for the property's return without imposing the disputed costs under Clause 8.5.
3. Key Documents Provided:
I can provide the signed lease, full email correspondence (including the agent's denial of the CRA), and all notice documents for review.
4. My Request for Quote:
Please provide a clear, fixed-fee quote for:
Reviewing the provided document pack.
Drafting the specified Letter Before Action using official headed paper of a UK based practicing solicitor.
Sending it via recorded delivery and providing proof of posting. This refers to UK.
Follow up/assist with e-mail correspondence until resolution.
Please also confirm your relevant experience with landlord-tenant disputes and the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
I must clarify a key point: I am looking for a "freelance solicitor" who is a practicing solicitor in the UK will still be a regulated individual operating under their own or a firm's name.
I look forward to your quote and proposed timeline.
