Paul instructed conveyancing solicitors to deal with the purchase of his new home which was a leasehold property. His solicitors advised him that when the rent was reviewed, it would double from £75 to £150. However, the lease actually said that the rent would increase to double the previous rent or increase to 0.3% of the current value of the property, whichever was the greatest. Therefore when the rent was to be reviewed, it would actually increase to £675 rather than £150. When Paul came to sell his property, a number of buyers pulled out because of this clause in the lease. Paul instructed us to pursue a claim against his former solicitors for not advising him properly. We pursued a claim for the difference between what Paul paid for the property and what the property was actually worth in light of the rent review clause and successfully recovered over £10,000 for Paul.
