Sales Dispute Resolution Solicitor Liverpool

Range of Defences

There is usually a range of defences available to the business owner, some of which are relatively technical. We have experience in conducting the following defences:

  • Misrepresentation
  • Penalty clauses
  • Agent not the effective cause of the sale
  • Breach of the money laundering regulations
  • Breach of the Estate Agents Act 1979

Although litigation is always uncertain, we have a high success rate in defending claims of this type. We are proud to be endorsed by CEBTA.

If you have received a letter of claim from a business sales agent, we can advise you on your options and write a letter of response on your behalf for a fixed fee of £360.

FIXED FEE SERVICE

If you are sued by a business sales agent for £10,000 or less, we operate a staged fixed fee service:

Stage 1 is the drafting, filing and service of your Defence. The charge for this stage is £1,000.

Stage 2 is dealing with the directions questionnaire, disclosure of documents and drafting and serving your witness statements. The charge for this stage is £1,000.

Stage 3 is preparation for and representation at the final hearing, including the preparation of a hearing bundle and skeleton argument. The charge for this stage is £1,000. This includes travel to any court in the North West of England – if the hearing is further afield, we reserve the right to add a modest amount for travel (usually no more than £300).

You can ‘pick and mix’ e.g. deal with one or more stages yourself and instruct us to deal with the remainder.

Sales Dispute Resolution Solicitor Liverpool: If you are sued for more than £10,000, we would also be happy to assist and we can usually offer fixed fees, but we will need more details about the particular case before we can give you an estimate or a quote.
