Tenancy Deposit Claims Advice

There are strict rules governing how a landlord must handle any tenant deposit claims. If those rules are broken, the landlord is required to return your deposit in full, in addition to paying you a statutory penalty of up to three times the value of that deposit.

If you believe the deposit for your existing or former Wirral home has been mishandled, give us a call. Our service is nationwide and is offered on a No Win No Fee basis.

  • Did you pay a deposit?
  • Was the deposit correctly protected as required by law?

It has been the case now for a considerable period of time that if a Landlord receives a deposit from a Tenant in relation to an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, then they must deal with the deposit in a very specific way. Firstly, within 30 days of receipt of the deposit, the Landlord must protect the deposit within one of three government-backed schemes. The three government-backed schemes are Mydeposits, DPS and TDS.

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COSTS

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COSTS

    Tenant Deposit cases are conducted on a Conditional Fee Agreement. Under the terms of this agreement work is undertaken at a rate of £230.40 (£192 + £38.40 VAT) per hour, in addition to disbursements which might include, although not exclusively, court fees, barristers fees etc.

    These costs are only payable if you win your case and are usually recoverable from the other party. If your claim is unsuccessful you will not be left with a bill for legal work.

    The full terms and conditions that apply to our Conditional Fee Agreement are provided prior to you agreeing to instruction Johnson and Boon Solicitors, including circumstances in which you may become liable for pay these costs.

    It is impossible to provide an estimate of the costs likely to be incurred without knowing the specific circumstances of each case, because the amount of work required will depend upon the nature of the advice required and value of the dispute.

    We charge an initial consultation fee of £60 (£50 + £10 VAT), which is deducted from the total costs charge on your case upon receipt of instructions to proceed.

    The above mentioned hourly rate may be subject to variation in the case of disputes of over £100,000 or those matters which include complex circumstances.

    We will detail what will be included within the terms of the Conditional Fee Agreement and no work will be undertaken until you have understood and agreed to that quote.

    A estimate timescale will also be provided for key stages in the case. These are estimates only due to them being influenced by conduct of the parties, court workloads etc.

    There may be unforeseen circumstances which require that quote to be revised. This may relate to an increase in value, complexity or due to a factor otherwise previously unknown. You will be advised should such an occasion arise. We will advice on the nature of that circumstance, why it has impacted upon the original costs quotation and we will provide a revised quote for your consideration and approval.

    No such additional costs will be incurred until these have been understood and approved by you.
