Leasehold is changing. Your documents still decide what is possible.
Every service charge dispute, recovery gap and safety decision traces back to wording in a document. We turn leases, schedules and plans into clause-linked data your teams can actually use. So you can see what is allowed, what is recoverable and what still needs work.
— Reduce recovery risk across complex estates
— See where wording blocks your plans
— Give every team the same leasehold picture

FOR PROFESSIONAL TEAMS
From wording to insight
Here's what one clause looks like when we unpack it.
Original clause
"The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord on demand a fair proportion of the expenses incurred by the Landlord in repairing, maintaining and renewing the Demised Premises and the Service Media serving the same."
Plain English
The leaseholder must pay a fair share of what it costs the landlord to keep the building’s structure, outside, and pipes/wires in good repair. This is part of your service charge.
What else needs reviewing
Definitions
“Building”, “Service Charge”, “Service Media”
Schedules
What's recoverable or excluded from the service charge
Plans
What's inside the “Building” vs “Estate”
Associated documents
Sector standards
Superior leases, estate regulations, side letters
RICS Service Charge Code, TPI, internal policies
The one that overrides the lease
Legislation can change who pays, whatever the clause says. The Building Safety Act 2022 can override a watertight-looking service charge clause, protecting qualifying leaseholders from cladding remediation costs in buildings 11m/5 storeys+, and capping other historical safety-defect contributions. This is the kind of gap we surface.

The lease is only part of the picture.
One estate can produce 1,700+ individual clause-level data points, all linked back to the source document. We map these to your operational ownership so teams aren't guessing what is allowed or recoverable.

clause-linked data points from a single residential lease dataset
Figures illustrate the depth of one representative analysis.
One dataset, many uses
Different teams. Shared reality.
We build one clause-linked dataset per estate that each team reads through its own lens. One source of truth, serving every workflow across safety, finance, and operations.
The estate.
One clause-linked dataset, read many ways
Building safety
Track remediation obligations and safety-defect recovery caps.
Service charge

We work to the legislation, then turn it into who does what.
We abide by the legislation and recognised standards governing residential leasehold, showing exactly where they sit above the lease. This creates a clear hierarchy of governance for every decision.
You provide your teams and functions; we map each operational obligation to an accountable owner. It is a structural mobilisation tool that ensures nothing falls through the cracks of a complex estate.

Where it leads
Operational clarity across teams and documents changes how you recover costs and manage safety.
Documents decide what you can recover, deliver and explain. We map every visible wording, schedule and plan into a structured, source-linked dataset that empowers your whole team.
When every team reads from the same reality, recovery improves, disputes reduce and safety work is easier to explain. Prepared by a Co-Founder with two decades in residential leasehold, with full PI cover behind every report.
