CAN I STILL CLAIM IF I DID NOT PAY FOR MY OWN FLIGHT TICKET?

Yes. The passenger is the only person who would be entitled to claim, not the person who paid for the ticket. (Unless that person was with you, in which case you would both be entitled to claim). Provided the ticket was purchased and paid for and was not free.

CAN I STILL CLAIM WITH YOU IF I HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN TO THE AIRLINE?

Yes. We can pick up your claim at any stage, whether you have already written or spoken to the airline directly. We have dealt with numerous customers who have been misinformed by airlines stating they had an invalid claim. All you need to do is get in touch with our industry-leading flight delay compensation claims team today!

WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS?

Regulation (EC) 261/2004 states that all airlines should compensate passengers if a flight is heavily delayed or cancelled. They must also offer meals, refreshments and hotel accommodation (if appropriate) while you wait for a rearranged flight. It is the airlines duty to cover the transport costs between the hotel and airport, regardless of the costs incurred. If the airline does not provide this service then keep all receipts so that you may to claim reimbursement from the airline.

HOW MUCH COMPENSATION CAN I CLAIM FROM THE AIRLINES?

The flight compensation amount is set by the EU Law, EU Regulation 261/2004. The amount will be based on the length of the delay and the flight distance. They are not related to the cost of your ticket, so whether you paid £50 or £1000 for your ticket, the amount of compensation stays the same.

Freehold and Leasehold Titles – what’s the difference?

We have many clients asking us about the difference between the two classes of title namely Freehold and Leasehold.

Leasehold for starters, is for a fixed term from a specific start date. So basically you can own the title to a leasehold property for say 999 years from the date of the lease. However, some leases can be for a shorter term such as 99 years from say, 1970.

Freehold titles on the other hand are not for a term. They do not have an expiry date and appear to be more favourable to buyers.

With freehold titles, the owner owns all property/buildings/premises situated on the land and more importantly, the land itself.

But with Leasehold titles, the owner merely owns the bricks and mortar and usually pays a ‘ground rent’ to the freehold owner for the use of the land on which the property lies. The Ground rent can range from anything such as a peppercorn (nil consideration) up to £500pa depending on the area and type of lease granted. Some ground rents exceed £500pa.

It’s important to note that buyers of leasehold properties who are obtaining a mortgage to acquire the same, need to ensure the lease is for an acceptable term for the benefit of the Lender/Mortgage company. A majority of Lenders require the Lease to have a minimum unexpired term of 70 years left to run on the lease as at the day on completion, before they will lend against the property. Some lenders insist on a minimum of 85 years remaining on the lease.

What do I pay you if my claim is successful?

We operate a no win no fee agreement. If we are successful we limit our fees in accordance with the Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA). If successful we are entitled to part of our costs from the Defendant but as we do not get paid all our costs, in accordance with the CFA we deduct up to a maximum of 25% of the total compensation you are awarded as a contribution to cover some of our costs.

Contact Versus Law

Are there other forms of funding the claim?

We will make enquiries if you have an existing legal expenses cover, such as with your car or home insurance, credit card insurance etc, which can cover all aspects of the claims similar to the insurance policy which we purchase on your. If another insurance policy can be established then we will cancel the existing policy we have taken on your behalf.

Once the independent insurance policy is taken out on your behalf by us, then it has to be cancelled within 14 days, otherwise the only other way it can be cancelled is if we establish an existing insurer who will provide cover for you.

Contact Versus Law

Will you take out an insurance policy to cover me against risk of costs?

As we have made it clear, we operate on a no win no fee basis, which means you wont have to pay our costs unless you succeed, but you will still be liable for the disbursements such as engineering evidence, medical reports, court fees etc.

Further you will also be liable for Defendant costs in certain situations.

There are no guarantees in the claims process therefore if you decide to take out the insurance policy then this will give you added protection.

We will take out an independent insurance policy on your behalf, which will cover all the disbursements and our costs, which will enable us to operate on a no win no fee basis and will cover you against the risk of the Defendant’s costs.

There are possibilities you may have to pay the Defendant’s costs and in the unlikely event you are ordered to pay the Defendant’s costs, I.E. if they make an offer to settle your claim and you fail to accept the offer in accordance with our advice, adverse costs and other costs you may be liable for, then the insurance policy will cover the costs (subject to terms and conditions).

We recommend this policy is taken out as the insurance policy cost will only be payable upon successful settlement of your case.

Contact Versus Law

What Agreement will I need to sign?

You will be required to sign a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), which will set out the no win no fee arrangement between you and your solicitor.

WHAT CAN YOU CLAIM FOR?

Versuslaw especially Anita Craig helped so kindly from 2018 for pia delay flight claim which was showing possible but Ms Anita Craig proved it again that versus law can do it. Thank you will use again and recommend 100percent.
R Nabi

We have just completed on a buy and sell having used Versus Law for both sides of the transaction.
Versus Law have been immense throughout, with the Conveyancer looking after our ‘purchase’ working hand in hand with his colleagues to keep us informed of how the ‘sell’ was progressing too.
Amazing bunch of people. There should be more firms providing this high level of service.
B Keane

Very professional and up to the task
I found versus law straight forward and very helpful.
K Boon

i recently completed on a property and was guided really well by Katrina and Lisa. Ive never purchased a property before so really didn’t know what was involved. It was easy and seamless no stress at all followed by a price that was so much cheaper than other quotes I’d had
M Rehman

Having had my PIA flight delayed for over 5 hours.. Anita Craig of versus law solicitors was a great help. Every step was made easy for me to understand and I will definitely be recommending yourselves to family and friends.
J Nugent

They made the whole process of my injury claim
simple and straight forward, They even managed to get
me my compensation before Christmas which I wasn’t expecting, A big thanks to Kulbinder Mehay
Steven P

Excellent work, thank you.
Liz

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.
Gem

I was selling my home which had a complicated title and versus law was recommended to me. Natalie Moylan handled my case from start to finish and I couldn’t ask for anyone better! There were no obstacles that couldn’t be overcome and in a very fast turn around too. The sale completed in no time at all. Natalie was timely, professional and friendly and an absolute pleasure to have on my side. I would strongly recommend Versus law to anyone.
Bonnie

I have used the services of Nicola Nolan at Versus Law twice this year and was instantly put at ease and very impressed with the help received and the outcome achieved. Would recommend without hesitation
Daniel

I called to get some documents certified, the ladies on reception were so helpful. I am very happy with the service I received and will use Versus Law again.
M

Dealt with my flight claim hassle free and super quick, I was continuously updated every step of the way and overall really pleased with the outcome. A personal thank you to Anita as she couldn’t have made it easier for me and saw through any problems I had!
Richard

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.
J Percy

We used Nicola Nolan for our purchase/transfer of ownership. She was excellent from start to finish. We were fully informed of the process throughout and she was always friendly, approachable and very professional at all times. Would definitely recommend her at Versus Law. Thank you again
J Guntren

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. It should also be noted that we were selling my wife’s apartment at the same time (also using Versus), further complicating everything. Thanks to Natalie, everything was done in a very efficient manner and she was very understanding of our situation.
P Godfrey

Many thanks to Anita and all the staff at Versuslaw, they made my flight compensation claim for delay a breeze. I would highly recommend them
G Ryder

Thanks again to Nicola, Nick and Francine

J Williams

From the moment we rung Versus Law and spoke to the receptionist on the phone to the moment we completed on our first home, Versus Law were excellent. Our solicitor was Tom and not only did he keep us updated every step of the way but he was very professional, efficient, offered valuable advice and made the process of buying a house stress free. We couldn’t recommend Versus Law enough and we just wanted to say a huge thank you to Tom and the team. Joe and Kara
S Foster

Sarah handled my claim quickly and efficiently. It made the whole process easy and stress free. She was very professional and kept me informed every step. I would highly recommend Versuslaw.
H Cooper

We would highly recommend Versus law, especially Nick Wintrip (selling) and Nicola Nolan (buying). They both kept us up to date throughout the whole process. They were easy to get hold of and were very prompt to answer any questions/email. We would have no hesitation in recommending Versus law for conveyancing.
I Asaf

Fantastic service, very helpful and kept me informed at every stage
M Long

From start to finish Versus Law have been professional and helpful. Tom Reid was always available to talk to us and gave us updates regularly meaning we did not have to constantly chase up matters. We are very happy by the service and would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable solicitor.
Jill T

Excellent service. I was kept informed every step of the way. Natalie Moylan and Renee Burke were a pleasure to work with. Highly professional but with a personal touch. They both went above and beyond!
Danielle

Excellent service from start to finish from Nicola and Natalie! Super responsive to emails and all my questions as a first time single buyer. Natalie and Nicola make a great team and are so approachable. Definitely recommend them for property related legal services.
Frankie

Really happy with my experience using versus law, from start to finish they put my mind at ease as I wasn’t buying a house in the normal way, it was through a family divorce and there were time scales and dead lines to meet, versus law managed to conker my mortgage and speed things up to avoid any extra costs, nicola was always there to ease my mind when I had any concerns as things do get stressful whilst purchasing a property, the ladies on the reception we also a delight and couldn’t do more to make you feel comfortable in any situation, if you are thinking of using versus law to assist you through your mortgage then look no further as these guys couldn’t have done more for me, I couldn’t have been happier with my experience
Matt W

Nicola Nolan’s conveyancing service has always been excellent, I have used them several times in the last 5 years. In particular for my business I have found their relationship and understanding of Paragon Bank to be very useful. I would highly recommend.
Kay

Excellent decision to go with Versus Law! Nick Wintrip handled the very stressful job of our house sale with professionalism, calmness and a good sense of humour. We did everything via email, phone and post, and he was always quick in responding and keeping me updated every step of the way. Very competitively priced too. I would highly recommend Versus Law without the slightest hesitation.
O Li

Thomas Reid dealt with the sale and purchase of our properties. He was a pleasure to work with – very quick to respond to queries and very efficient in his work. As a result, the process went very smoothly with minimal delays. I would highly recommend competitively priced Versus Law and especially the professionalism of Thomas Reid.
Mr RS

Natalie Moylan dealt with the sale and purchase on my behalf. The whole process was very well handled with constant updates. The first solicitors I’ve used that’s responds within to an email within an hour! Would 100% use again!!!

Paula

Great experience working with Versus Law. Excellent level of professionalism from Thomas Reid who provided clear, precise information. Highly recommended from my side. Thanks to Tom and the team.

Fantastic experience with Natalie and her colleagues. Email updates throughout the home buying process, estimates of how long it would take to get her work completed and local knowledge which speeded up the process. 100% recommended.
R Napier

Really good and really helpful got things sorted alot quicker than anticipated very cooperative
Wetherill

What an outstanding team they turned my purchase around within the set time frame and very professional at all times.
They went above and beyond reassured myself throughout the process.
As being a first time buyer I felt this was most important I would recommend them highly.
Nasir

Versus Law dealt with my house sale from start to finish in a most professional manner. A friendly, professional, competent team who get the job done within the time parameters. I highly recommend this firm.
Colin and Yvonne

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).
Mrs Morris

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.
Tanita

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.
