Handling Discrimination in the Workplace

Discrimination is the unequal treatment of an individual or a number of individuals who are considered protected under the Equality Act 2010.

The Equality Act 2010 works to protect employees from any form of discrimination and there are certain ‘protected characteristics’ which include age, religious beliefs, disability, pregnancy or maternity, race, gender, marital status and gender reassignment.

Discrimination can have a negative impact on one’s career, confidence and mental health and therefore should not be overlooked.

There are four different ways in which one may suffer from discrimination:

Direct discrimination – this implies that an individual is being treated differently to others due to their ‘protected characteristics’ e.g. a woman not getting a promotion due to her gender.
Indirect discrimination – this is when there are certain measures in place that apply across the board, however are unfair to you due to your protected characteristics. E.g. your company have all their employees work a 9-5; however you have a disability, which means you need to travel outside of rush hour.
Harassment – this is unsolicited behaviour towards an individual which is related to a protected characteristic that creates an offensive environment. E.g. comments based on gender or religion.
Victimisation – this is when an individual is treated unfairly due to their complaint against discrimination or harassment. E.g. not being invited to work events due to the fact you called out a colleague’s racist language.

Make A Note of Everything

From the moment you begin to notice you’re being discriminated against, make a record of everything that is being said, done or sent to you electronically or physically.

Keep a diary with what was said, when it was said and the wording , specifying the discriminatory comments or actions. Include who was there when the comments were made.

Moreover, you may feel like discarding of any evidence, such as photos or emails, but this is what will prevent a ‘he said/ she said’ quarrel. All of this can be used as evidence in court.

Buying A Property From An Online Auction

Physical auctions are no longer an option due to the pandemic, however many are still going ahead online.

Buying a home at auction can be a great way to pick up a deal, but it’s not always straightforward and there are various pitfalls and details that you should be aware of before taking the plunge and putting in the highest bid.

Below, we give some tips for those thinking about getting a residential or commercial property at auction.

View the property

This sounds basic, but purchasers don’t always view a home before they place a bid. Auctioneers will provide comprehensive information on homes being sold, but nothing compares to seeing the residential or commercial property with your own eyes to see the scale of any possible work needed.

Viewing may not be possible but at the very least you can request to see a video tour of the property you are interested in. It is strongly encouraged to review everything and talk to the auctioneer prior to the auction to clarify any points.

Review the legal pack

A legal pack for all properties sold at auction will have been prepared by the seller’s lawyers. It will consist of details in relation to the property including:

– fixtures and fittings

– lease details

– Land registry and local searches paperwork

– Any information in relation to planning permissions

The pack can be downloaded on the auctioneer’s site or from the vendor’s solicitors. It needs to read by prospective purchasers, or they can instruct a solicitor to evaluate the documents on their behalf. At Versus Law we look at this type of paperwork all the time therefore we can confidently check everything for you if you decide you need some help.

Get your ID together

Everyone wanting to bid in a property auction needs to offer photographic I.D along with an evidence of residency. If you are the successful bidder, you will need to provide this to the auction house and be prepared to undertake further identity checks if necessary.

Arrange finance prior to bidding

It is necessary your finances are in line prior to bidding on a property. If a loan is required lenders may require a property surveyor to undertake an evaluation before agreeing to lend the funds required. Once you have found a property and you are certain you would like to purchase it at auction this should be arranged as soon as possible.

If you put in the successful bid, you will be asked to sign the sale contract and pay a deposit immediately. This will typically be 10 per cent of the purchase rate. The remainder of the balance is due within 28 days. Therefore unless you’re a cash purchaser, this does not leave a lot of time to find and complete a mortgage application. It is therefore advisable to already have a mortgage in principle in place prior to bidding.

Bridging loans do offer a short-term solution to getting a property paid for prior to the 28-day due date while you wait for the bank to process your mortgage funds however it is worth noting that if you are unable to raise the finance in time, you will lose the cash spent for the deposit in addition to any cash invested in surveys.

Guide Prices – It’s just there to entice you.

The guide rate is set low to attract bidders. On average properties are likely to sell for 10 percent more or even greater, and it is worth budgeting for this when looking at the guide price and prearranging any finance.

The guide rate can be raised soon prior to the auction starts if there is a substantial amount of interest, so it is worth checking again right before the auction starts.

Upcoming auctions can be found through an online search, while auction homes will also be noted on websites such as Zoopla and Rightmove.

Tips for buying commercial property

Commercial property investment, requires a lot of research and knowledge in order to be successful. This is especially true when it comes to first-time buyers. Whether you are looking to buy a building for shops, warehouses, flats or offices.

At Versus Law we have put together a handful of tips for anyone keen to purchase a commercial property.

1. Conduct thorough research

Researching is vital. Look into long-term predictions for the location you are viewing property in – is there anything that may help or hinder property values in the future? A decline in value of your commercial property could decrease your business capital therefore spend some time checking the details.

2. Determine your investment budget and return goals

It is a fact that buying commercial property for your business is rarely cheap. When budgeting, you must factor in any new furniture your new premises will need, as well as long-term upkeep and ongoing costs which will inevitably incur. Having some extra money in the bank can help to avoid any problems you may encounter along the way.

Compared to residential property investments, commercial properties have much more room for potential. The location and type of property you are looking to invest in will go a long way in determining your potential returns. So always take supply and demand into consideration.

3. Take advantage of low interest rates

When considering purchasing a commercial property, it is wise to keep a close eye on interest rates as they are constantly fluctuating. Although they won’t stay constant for a long period of time, it makes a mortgage an attractive option. Re-mortgaging your property will help to increase additional capital, which will be considerably cheaper than a business loan.

4. Get your financing in order

Depending on your financial situation, you’ll want to consider strongly whether purchasing or leasing makes sense for you. For most people, leasing will be the more realistic option, which means you’ll need to locate funding options. These can range from banks, credit unions and mortgages.

5. Set realistic objectives

Experts and professionals who have years of experience investing in commercial property are a brilliant resource. Seeking opinions from a number of people before making a decision is never a bad option.

As with any other investment, having your feet planted firmly on solid ground is essential. The best plan when buying commercial property is to always keep your goals in mind, know how you’ll finance your purchase, study the market religiously and remain patient. By doing this, when the right opportunity arises, you’ll be ready to pounce and reap the rewards.

Whether you’re a property owner with a vast portfolio, are a landlord with a single or several investment properties, are looking to buy or sell a commercial property or are a tenant, we can help guide you through the legalities of your next sale or purchase.

Why You Should Write a Will

The purpose of a will is to be able to dictate what is to happen to your possessions and property once you have passed. Money, possessions and property are referred to as an estate.

If you decide you’re not going to write a will, the law then decides what is to happen to your estate.

There are four main reasons as to why you should write a will:

Make it easier on your loved ones when you pass: if you have written a will, the logistics of your estate have already been dealt with. This takes a heap of stress off your family and friends.
You can dictate what happens to your estate: this means everything will be distributed in accordance to your wishes rather than in accordance to the law.
Lower inheritance tax: writing a will lowers the amount of tax that is then to be paid on any money or property left behind.
Benefits your children: when you write a will, it safeguards your children who are financially dependent on you. You can also specify if you would like to leave some estate outside the family.

Your wishes and how they are carried out

Your will informs people of two main things:

Who inherits your estate when you die
Who will see to the distribution of your estate, following any instructions that have been left by you in your will – this individual is referred to as the Executor and more than one person may be given this role. In your will, you may also specify how you would like to be buried or cremated. The role of the executor is to do their best to ensure each one of your wishes are fulfilled, providing they are not breaking the law.

Nicola Nolan and Natalie Moylan are an excellent conveyancing team. We have used them more than once and recommend them to friends and family (who were also impressed). This time they were involved in us buying a property in Wales and kept us informed all the way through, even with covid restrictions causing problems. They are friendly, efficient and get the job done in a no-nonsense way which is what you need. They take the stress out of conveyancing for you. Very impressed and would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Natalie was timely, professional and friendly and an absolute pleasure to have on my side. I would strongly recommend Versus law to anyone.

Saving A Deposit For Your First Home

Getting on to the property ladder is an aspiration shared by many people across the UK and with approximately two in five UK households currently living in private / social rented housing with ever rising rents home ownership is becoming more and more of a necessity for financial and lifestyle stability.

Rising rents, increasing house prices and stagnant wages pitted alongside lenders requesting minimum 10% deposits means that buying a house for first time buyers is becoming increasingly difficult.

Despite all of the above at Versus Law we have helped numerous first time buyers achieve the ultimate goal of buying their home. We have put together a few tips to help you reach your goal.

Set a saving goal

First, create a timeline to show how long it is going to take you to save for a deposit. This will help you understand what steps you need to take in order to get there. Saving for a deposit for most people will mean you will need to make some sacrifices. Keep in mind that in the long term you will benefit and the sacrifices are only temporary until you have achieved your goal.

Maximise your savings

If you’re saving for your first home, there is free money on offer from the Government. There are two types of Lifetime ISA available, both offering the 25 per cent Government bonus, with the condition that you must be under 40 when you sign up.

Any money you save in these ISAs can only be withdrawn for a house purchase or to fund your retirement. If you need to access your cash for another reason, there is a penalty of up to 25 per cent to pay.

You could also use the Government’s Help to Buy equity loan scheme, which could help boost your money further. The current scheme is due to end on 31 March, but a new one will begin on 1 April. The most important changes are that the new scheme is only available to first-time buyers, and includes a number of regional price caps.

Audit your finances

Look at your bank statements and assess what outgoings or spending habits you might be able to reduce. Cancel any subscriptions you no longer need and contact your utility and tv package providers for cheaper deals. Set budgets for essentials and food and implement no spending days within your week.

Rent is likely to be your biggest expense therefore if you have a good relationship with your landlord, there is no harm in explaining to them politely that you are trying to get on to the property ladder, and seeing if they can agree at the very least to not raise the rent for a period of time.

Improving your credit score is also a great way to improve the number of mortgage lenders who might be willing to offer you a mortgage in the future. There is a great range of information available online on how to do this by doing a simple google search.

Saving for a deposit to buy a home is no easy task but there are things you can do to speed up the process.

Flight Cancellations – Why you are likely to be entitled to a refund and compensation

With the new lockdown in place it may seem that your holiday will never happen. If you have had your flight cancelled, the airline must offer you the opportunity to rebook or get a refund.

The guidance at present has advised that a travel ban remains unless you have a legally permitted reason to travel therefore if you do have a flight booked whilst restrictions are still in place, your airline will likely cancel your flight and offer a full refund.

Some airlines and travel providers are offering vouchers in place of refunds. If your flight has been cancelled, you are entitled to a refund, so if you would prefer a refund, ask for this from the airline.

If you believe you are entitled to get a refund from your airline but they are refusing, you may have a claim. Passengers are entitled to compensation unless:

Your flight was rerouted, and you arrive at your destination no more than two hours late
You are informed of your flight cancellation at least two weeks prior to departure
You are informed of your flight cancellation between on and two weeks prior to departure and your flight was rerouted, helping you to get to your destination no more than four hours late
The airline can prove that the delay was caused by extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided.

In the current climate The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has stated that anyone who cannot travel because of government regulations should be able to get a refund, but this is not always the case in reality.

If you need help obtaining a refund and/ or compensation we offer a no win no fee flight cancellation claims compensation service. This means that you won’t have to pay anything upfront, and there is no charge if your claim is unsuccessful. You can pursue your refund and compensation independently however research has indicated that airlines don’t take many claims seriously, often discarding letters and failing to take appropriate action.

When you instruct Versus Law to handle any claims against an airline, you have the peace of mind that we know how to manage claims of all descriptions in accordance with all legal precedents.

We handle every aspect of your flight cancellation claim with tenacity and conscientiousness from start to finish, including instances of court action on a no win no fee basis with an impressive 98% success rate.

Throughout your claim, our flight delays claim solicitors in Manchester will keep you informed of your claim’s progress. We will always also provide you with sound legal advice and communicate professionally with the airline.

Each of our team has thorough knowledge of all aspects legal flight issues and comprehensive experience handling cases of all descriptions. Should our clients not have access to their individual claim handler, another member of our team will be able to provide prompt assistance and insight.

How to protect your home against fraudsters

The fight against fraud is usually associated with banking, credit cards and more recently cybercrime. However, property fraud is not always on the forefront of our minds. Fraudsters have sold or mortgaged properties fraudulently and without the legal owner knowing until it was too late.

The HM Registry has stated that an individual is more at risk of property fraud if:

o You rent out your property

o Your identity has been stolen

o You live overseas

o Your property is empty

o Your property isn’t mortgaged

o If the property isn’t registered with HM Land Registry

How does property fraud occur?

The above situations can be taken advantage of by fraudsters, for example by lodging a false charge on your property register thus giving them a legal interest in the property. Also, they have been known to steal an owner’s identity and sell the property from under the rightful owner’s nose (especially if the property is vacant/tenanted)!

What is the property alert scheme?

To protect and help property owners, the Land Registry has provided a free “Property Alert Scheme” whereby homeowners can monitor up to ten properties once they’ve signed up.

If any changes to the title register have been made, (including an official search with priority – used by potential buyers of the property), then a notification will be sent straight to you, allowing the time to take appropriate action.

If you believe any fraud has taken place, contact HM Land Registry property fraud line on 0300 006 7030 or reportafraud@landregistry.co.uk.

Here at Versus Law, our conveyancing team do all we can in assisting both buyers and sellers in preventing property fraud. Throughout the conveyancing transaction, we offer guidance on the steps to be taken in order to avoid fraud. Moreover, our own security checks are carried out to ensure maximum security.

Whilst we work to avoid fraud in every way, we recommend that all property owners take advantage of the Land Registry’s Property Alert Scheme, to guarantee that you are extra cautious and have ongoing peace of mind throughout your ownership.

I purchased my first home in February, and used Versus as my solicitor. I dealt with Natalie Moylan from start to finish, who was excellent throughout. The purchase ended up being delayed and resulted in a quite hectic finish, but Natalie remained calm and professional at all times, whilst providing a very high quality of work. My thanks to Natalie and her team, for making a long purchase so much easier!
C Savage

We were selling our house (through Nick) and buying a house (through Natalie) and I can honestly say these are the best solicitors we’ve ever used (we had always used ones in London previously). They both kept us informed on a regular basis as to how things were progressing which I really valued and they were quick to respond to any queries I asked. They were professional, efficient, helpful and really nice to deal with. We were recommended Versus through local friends that have used them previously and I would definitely recommend Versus to anyone else asking me for a recommendation.
Thanks again Natalie and Nick.

Amazing law firm for conveyancing!! My wife and I made an offer on a house 24th September and we were moved in by 20th December.

Thanks to Natalie, everything was done in a very efficient manner and she was very understanding of our situation.

Absolutely brilliant service as always.
This is the third time using Versuslaw and they never fail to impress. Natalie and Nicola are real diamonds and you really get the sense that they actually care about you.

We actually live in London, but continued to use them for our London property because of our previous experience with them.
Thank you guys, would highly recommend you to anyone.
B Man

Excellent service!!! We are really happy with the service VersusLaw provided to us. Being first time buyer, we dint have much idea about the whole process and had lots of questions. They have given proper and clear response on time to everything we have requested. For us, one of the property got cancelled in between the process because the owner decided to not to sell that property few days after accepting our offer. Though there were searches and procedures done already for that property VersusLaw did not ask Fee for that purchase as they understood the difficult situation we were in. When we found our next property, we had no doubt whom to contact. We are really happy and totally satisfied by the service Nicola, Natalie and their team offered. We will highly recommend your service to anyone,
Ross Grant

Today I have completed on the purchase of my very first apartment, and it just wouldn’t have been possible without the INCREDIBLE knowledge, guidance and GENUINE care of Nicola, Natalie, and the entire Versus Law team.

This purchase was far from straightforward, with lots of potential pitfalls – all navigated with professionalism, patience and an impeccable attention to detail by Nicola.

Nic went well above and beyond the call of duty to look into some extremely complex accounts and repair budgets to the apartment block in question – something I would have completely overlooked.

As a result, with her guidance, I managed to negotiate a £2,000 reduction in asking price – something I’m sure other solicitors would have let slip through the net.

That’s a genuine £2000 saving – a lot of money for a first-time buyer.

You get a real sense that these guys actually CARE – they make you feel more like a friend, than a client – and don’t leave a stone unturned when it comes to conveyancing. If there is anything to uncover on a property, trust me, Nicola will find it!

In essence, Versus Law made what could have been a rather stressful situation, easy and straightforward.

Communications and response times were brilliant, with daily updates coming via phone and email – and I never felt rushed by anyone when I had queries.

I honestly cannot recommend Versus Law enough.

I’m going to pick up the keys to my apartment now – and won’t be using anyone other than these guys for all future property purchases/ sales.

THANK YOU SO MUCH Versus Law – I’ll be raising a glass of champagne to you all at the housewarming! 🙂
CW

Great service provided by Nicola and her team.
Always communicating with updates for the completion of my property.
Would highly recommend
Jackie

I used Versus Law to buy my first house. Had no idea how it worked but I must say that the conveyancing team held my hand all the way through. On the day of completion there was a delay and they stayed in office late to ensure it went through so I wasn’t waiting over the weekend. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Versus Law and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. It was nice to speak to people who I felt cared for me and put my interests first at all times. Thank you so much for your help
Andy

Versus were great to deal with when they provided the conveyancing for my house purchase. I was able to complete the process without needing to physically travel to their offices and my solicitor was always available for any questions when I was completing all the paperwork. Everyone was very friendly to speak to.
T Baguley

Fantastic conveyancing service from Nicola and Natalie, they kept on top of everything from start to finish and were always available whenever we had questions. I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone.
David JC

Very impressed with every aspect of Versus Law, from service they provide to the attitude of the staff. Always called back when they said they would and had a laugh with them too. Will definately use again (if I need to).

I would recommend Versus Law to anyone, particularly Nick Wintrip, who looked after us extremely well. They are very efficient and communicated with us fully at all times. We were able to contact them by phone and e mail and did not need to rely on letter going back and forth. Nick is really friendly too and put us at ease throughout the end to end sales process. Thank you.

Nicola and Natalie did a wonderful job. They were friendly and patient. Answered my many many questions and got the job done very efficiently. I am highly impressed and would definitely recommend them.
