Our Fees
Conditional Fee Agreements (commonly known as No Win, No Fee)
As your solicitors we will act for you on a No Win, No Fee basis. Everyone is entitled to justice when they are wronged – but not everyone can afford to pursue it.
This is why No Win, No Fee claims were introduced. They allow everyone the opportunity to take legal action against someone who has caused injury or financial loss by their negligence.
Making a claim on a No Win, No Fee basis means there is nothing to pay upfront. You can focus on getting things back on track rather than worrying about the cost of a claim. It also means that if your claim is not successful, you won’t have to pay your solicitor’s fee. There is no financial risk involved in a No Win, No Fee claim.
No Win, No fee applies to the following services that we offer
- Housing Disrepair
- Tenancy deposit claims
If your claim is successful, your solicitor will take a success fee. This could be up to 25% of your final compensation amount – but it won’t be more. Your lawyer will explain all fees before you go ahead with the claim so there won’t be any surprise costs down the line.
Ask us about our No Win, No Fee claims arrangements if you want legal representation without the risk. Our highly specialised and dedicated team are always ready to discuss potential cases. It’s our guarantee that we will pursue your case as far as we possibly can.
Fixed fees or getting a quote
Our other services are charged either by way of a fixed fee or we can provide you with a quote, depending on the circumstances. Either way there will be no hidden charges and you will know precisely what is and is not included in the quote. We will also let you know straight away if anything changes.
