From Notice to Defence Pack

You don’t need to understand service charge law to ask good questions - you just need your documents organised and your questions put clearly. We guide you through it, honestly, step by step.

The process

1

Your Notice

Paste your Section 20 notice, demand, or invoice and what you know about the works. We check the case is genuinely in scope - an England leaseholder, not building safety, forfeiture, or active proceedings - before anything else.

2

Review

We show you what we detected - property, landlord, notice type, amount, deadline - plus a free preview of which issue areas are worth checking, before you pay anything.

3

Payment

A single, fixed £14.99 payment via Stripe - no subscription.

4

Issue Analysis

We check your case against every Section 20 / service charge issue area - honestly, evidence by evidence - banded by what's actually documented, not by strength or chance of success.

5

Your Words & Evidence

Add your own context in your own words, and upload supporting evidence - invoices, photos, earlier notices, and more.

6

Your Defence Pack

Pack readiness score, chronology, cost table, missing-evidence report, questions to investigate, escalation options, and a draft observation letter - fully editable, and emailed to you.

What actually makes a Defence Pack strong

Your Defence Pack’s readiness score is built from four things: how complete your evidence is, how identifiable and consistent your documentation is, how clear the chronology of events is, and how specific and well-evidenced your questions are. We show you all four separately - not just one combined number - so you can see exactly where your case is well organised, and where a missing document would make the biggest difference, before you send anything. This measures how ready your evidence pack is, never a legal opinion and never a prediction of how any dispute would be decided.

Before you start

What if I’m not sure which issue areas apply to my case?

That’s exactly what the free Review step is for - it shows you which issue areas are worth checking based on what you’ve told us, before you pay anything.

Do I need all my evidence ready before I start?

No - you can add evidence as you gather it, and your missing-evidence report tells you specifically what would strengthen your pack if you’re still waiting on something.

What if my case involves building safety, an active tribunal case, or forfeiture?

We check for this automatically during the free Review step, and won’t proceed with generating a paid Defence Pack for that kind of case - these genuinely need a specialist solicitor, Citizens Advice, or LEASE (the government-funded Leasehold Advisory Service), not an automated tool.

No service charge law expertise required

Most leaseholders complete the process in under 20 minutes, for a fixed £14.99 fee. Not sure yet what applies? Our guides cover the consultation process, deadlines, and evidence in detail, and our FAQ answers the questions leaseholders ask most before starting.
