If parts of this are archived or missing, say so and start anyway — we can usually work from planning references and obtain the rest from the authority record.
Client journey
A confidential conversation about your portfolio. No documents needed to start — just a sense of the sites and the years involved.
We review the agreements, notices and records to establish whether anything justifies deeper investigation. No charge, no obligation to proceed.
Where a matter needs technical evidence, Corelain carries out the specialist survey and assessment work to support it.
Abbelys Solicitors assesses merits, evidence and limitation, and confirms whether the claim is formally accepted.
We pursue the claim and keep you updated. Our fee is deducted from what is recovered — and only if it is recovered.
Fees
The initial portfolio audit is free. If we go on to pursue a claim and it does not succeed, there is no recovery fee. If it does succeed, our fee is deducted from the sum recovered before it reaches you.
No charge, and no obligation to instruct us afterwards.
A success fee of 35% of the sum recovered, plus VAT, deducted from the recovery itself. Nothing to pay if the claim does not succeed.
A fixed monthly retainer, scoped to portfolio size. Entirely optional.
Because the fee comes out of the recovery, it is taken from money that was not on your balance sheet before we started — sums already paid over and, in most cases, written off internally years ago. Every claim is subject to legal merits, evidence, limitation and formal case acceptance. Precise terms, including the basis of the fee, VAT treatment and how any disbursements are handled, are set out in the client engagement documentation and agreed with you in writing before any recovery work begins.
