Your Law Store

If you click the shop link in the navigation bar below you will find a difference.  It will take you to a completely new site!  This is the new Your Law Store ecommerce site I have set up with my long term web designer Gill Bishop.

This is an exciting new venture.  Gill and I have been working together for years, mostly on my Landlord Law website, but this is a completely new business. It is run through a new company we have set up together called Zollch Ltd.

As we have a nice new sophisticated ecommerce store, it made sense to use it to sell the Lodger Landlord products.  But don’t worry – if you find you have gone there by mistake you can always get back here by clicking the suitcase logo on the top right of the page.

As we have this new service, I am now looking to do some more lodger landlord products.  If there is anything you would particularly like me to do – in the way of forms that is, please leave a comment and I will see what I can do.

Are you worried about your lodger?  Do you need some advice?

Although our 21 days of tips series will answer most people’s questions, there are always those tricky situations where you need some professional help  If you have a difficult problem and need to know what your legal rights are, you may want to consider using my new advice service.

This is how it works :

• First – read the terms and conditions
• Second – set out your problem in the online instruction form (which you will find linked from the advice page)
• Third – pay the fee (you can either pay by paypal or send a cheque) – you will be re-directed to the payment page once you have submitted the instruction form
• Fourth – send any documents I will need to see (eg lodger agreement, letters etc)
• Fifth – receive your advice by email

The fixed fee for this is £75.  This may sound a lot if you are on a low income, but it is less than my fee on my Landlord Law site, so it will be limited *just* to lodger related problems.  Otherwise it is unfair on my Landlord Law members.

Hopefully your lodger will be wonderful and you will never need the advice service.  However if you do, it is here for you.

I am pleased to announce the opening of the Lodger Landlord Shop!  This is a separate part of the site where you can purchase documents, forms and letters.

At present the only items there are a lodger agreement and a letter of authority.  Although these are arguably two of the most important documents you will need.

Lodger Agreement: As discussed on Day 15 a lodger agreement is important to keep a record of what was agreed with your lodger and to set out clearly the terms and conditions of the contract made.

Housing Benefit letter of authority: This is for landlords with lodgers on benefit.  The letter needs to be signed by the lodger and sent to the benefit office, otherwise they will refuse to speak to you about your lodgers benefit application, citing the Data Protection Act.  Even though the application is for your rent!

All our forms and documents are electronic – we do not sell any printed forms by post.  Payment is via pay pal, and then you will then be directed to a page where you can download the form that you have bought.  Simple!

An additional feature is that if we carry out any upgrades to a form within 12 months of the date you bought it, we will let you have the new version free of charge.   All you  need to do is contact us with details of your purchase and we will either email the form to you, or send you a link to where it can be downloaded.

I will be drafting more documents for the shop and loading them up in due course.  If there is anything you would particularly like, please do let me know.
