New statement
Review a newly issued standard contract
Check whether the written statement records the correct dwelling, occupation date, rent, parties and term structure before it becomes the document everyone relies on.
Document state
The review adapts to the statement you actually received
A new model-based contract, a converted tenancy and a later variation create different document risks. The product starts by identifying what kind of file set is in front of it.
Converted contract
Separate legacy wording from operative Welsh terms
Identify AST-era clauses, Schedule 12 clues and converted-contract language that need to be understood in the current occupation-contract framework.
Amended statement
Trace changes instead of reading isolated replacement pages
Review a variation notice, revised term sheet or replacement statement against the document it changes, with attention to where the new wording sits.
Custom drafting
Test landlord-added terms without losing the Welsh structure
Check additional wording on pets, guests, access, charges, joint holders or ending rights while keeping key, fundamental and supplementary terms distinct.
Written statement architecture
Four contract layers, reviewed as four different drafting problems
Welsh occupation contracts are not a single block of interchangeable clauses. Vordex separates the layers before it assesses omissions, modifications and landlord-added wording.
Layer 1
Statement map 1
Key matters
Maps the dwelling, occupation date, rent or other consideration, payment timing, parties and deposit details that anchor the statement.
Layer 2
Statement map 2
Fundamental terms
Identifies core statutory terms and tests whether omissions or modifications appear to reduce protection where the framework restricts change.
Layer 3
Statement map 3
Supplementary terms
Separates day-to-day contract controls from the fundamental layer and checks whether changes are stated clearly enough to be followed.
Layer 4
Statement map 4
Additional terms
Surfaces landlord-added or negotiated wording, then reviews whether it conflicts with the rest of the written statement or creates disproportionate control.
Welsh review engine
Checks built around occupation-contract failure points
The review examines the document as a Welsh written statement, not as an English tenancy with renamed parties.
Wrong regime
AST, Section 21 and English possession leakage
Flags English tenancy labels, Housing Act wording and Section 21 language that should not operate as the governing Welsh contract framework.
Cross-border
Scottish or Northern Ireland terms inside a Welsh file
Detects PRT, Notice to Leave and Notice to Quit wording and keeps Wales as the controlling review frame instead of silently switching jurisdictions.
Statement integrity
Missing written-statement architecture
Highlights where the upload does not clearly show a written statement, key matters, fundamental terms or supplementary terms expected for the contract type.
2026 update
Rental-discrimination terms and variation evidence
Reviews wording that excludes children or benefit recipients and checks whether a post-1 June 2026 statement or variation appears to reflect the new fundamental terms.
Habitability
FFHH, repairs, rent suspension and access
Tests fitness and repair duties, attempts to shift structural obligations, 24-hour repair access wording, emergency entry and periods when rent may not be payable.
Money
Rent changes, deposit protection and extra charges
Reviews two-month rent-change notice wording, once-in-12-month frequency, deposit-scheme references, 30-day information timing and penalty-like deductions.
People
Joint contract-holders, withdrawal and permitted occupiers
Checks joint-holder exit mechanics, adding or removing people, survivorship, lodgers, sub-occupation wording and continuing liability after one person leaves.
Ending
Section 173, breach grounds and fixed-term exits
Reviews contract-holder notice, landlord possession clauses, fixed-term break wording, serious rent arrears and whether the document uses the correct Welsh route.
Current 2026 statement check
The June 2026 variation is a document problem, not just a legal update
New fundamental terms restricting rental discrimination took effect in Wales on 1 June 2026. Existing standard contracts required written variation material by 14 June 2026. The practical question is whether the statement in front of you contains, locates or contradicts those terms.
What the review looks for
1 Jun 2026
A new standard occupation contract should contain the new fundamental terms from the start.
14 Jun 2026
An existing standard contract should have been accompanied by the relevant varied terms or a revised written statement.
Live wording
Clauses excluding applicants or occupiers because of children or benefits are treated as high-priority drafting risks.
File integrity
A variation that does not say where it sits, what it replaces or which statement it changes is reported as an evidence gap.
Report workspace
The output is built to support a document decision
The product returns a statement map, evidence-linked risks and amendment positions. It does not turn the upload into a generic article about renting in Wales.
Contract map
A visual hierarchy of the statement
See which wording belongs to key matters, fundamental terms, supplementary terms and additional terms instead of receiving one undifferentiated summary.
Risk queue
Prioritised defects tied to real clauses
The report keeps each issue attached to its heading or clause and ranks regime, variation, habitability, money and ending risks by severity.
Evidence
Short quotes and source locations
Findings use a short extract and a page or clause locator where the source file preserves reliable structure, so the user can verify the wording.
Action
Specific amendment positions
Recommendations identify what should be clarified, removed, restated or negotiated rather than giving a generic instruction to read the contract carefully.
Change trail
Variation and replacement-statement gaps
Where amended wording is supplied, the review highlights unclear insertion points, missing context and terms that conflict with the rest of the statement.
Decision brief
A concise summary supported by the full findings
The main risks are condensed into direct language while the underlying quotes, reasons and recommended positions remain available underneath.
Illustrative clause treatment
From source wording to a usable amendment position
The report keeps the original text visible, explains the Welsh contract issue and proposes a concrete position to raise.
Source clause
“The landlord may vary any term of this agreement on one month’s written notice.”
Why it is flagged
The wording treats all terms as freely variable and does not distinguish the restrictions applying to fundamental, supplementary and additional terms.
Report position
Restrict the clause to changes permitted by the Welsh occupation-contract framework and state the required notice and written-statement update process.
Perspective control
Choose whose decision the report must support
The same additional term can create useful control for a landlord and serious exposure for a contract-holder. The selected perspective changes the weighting and recommended position.
Contract-holder
Prioritise occupation, money and statutory protection
Weights repair response, FFHH, deposit fairness, quiet enjoyment, notice, variation impact, joint-holder exposure and limits on landlord control.
Landlord
Prioritise workable and enforceable Welsh drafting
Weights rent collection, property-care duties, permitted access, prohibited conduct, clear variation mechanics and possession wording that fits the contract type.
Neutral
Audit the statement without choosing a side
Tests Welsh regime fit, term hierarchy, legal currency, internal consistency and practical clarity without preferring landlord or contract-holder.
Purchase moments
Use the review when the contract text controls the next move
The product is designed for acceptance, late or fragmented statements, later variations and disputes that turn on the written terms.
Before acceptance
A draft has arrived and the wording is negotiable
Review the written statement before signing, paying the deposit or relying on verbal assurances that do not appear in the contract.
After issue
The statement was delivered late, partially or in pieces
Use the file set to identify coverage gaps, missing schedules and whether the material supplied forms one coherent written statement.
After a change
A landlord has varied rent, terms or contract information
Analyse the new wording alongside the existing statement and locate conflicts, unclear replacement language or missing variation context.
Before escalation
A live dispute turns on the contract text
Locate the clauses controlling repairs, access, joint-holder liability, deposit deductions, rent changes or ending steps before professional advice or negotiation.
Transparent boundaries
Know what the automated review can and cannot establish
Document analysis is strongest when the file is complete and readable. External compliance facts and urgent legal action still require source checks or professional advice.
Supported files
Text-based PDF, DOCX and TXT work best
Image-only scans may not extract reliably because this occupation-contract workflow does not claim optical character recognition.
Document coverage
The report only knows what was uploaded
Missing schedules, separate variation notices, unreadable pages or omitted model terms are reported as coverage gaps rather than assumed to exist elsewhere.
External facts
Registers and deposit records are not certified
Vordex can flag missing references in the statement, but Rent Smart Wales status, deposit lodging and property records must be checked with the relevant source.
Service boundary
Automated analysis is not legal representation
Vordex does not act as a solicitor, verify facts outside the file, serve notices or manage possession, court and urgent deadline work.
Fixed pricing
Choose the depth before the written statement is uploaded
Detailed Analysis is the primary route for a significant contract, variation or ending decision. Basic is a faster first pass for a simpler file.

Before you buy
File requirements and product questions
These answers cover suitable uploads, converted contracts, variations, perspective selection and the difference between the two paid options.
What should I upload for the strongest review?
Upload the complete written statement as a text-based PDF, DOCX or TXT. Include schedules, landlord-added terms and any variation or replacement pages that form part of the contract you need analysed.
Can Vordex review a converted occupation contract?
Yes. The review can identify converted-contract indicators and imported AST-era wording, then keep the analysis inside the Welsh occupation-contract framework.
Can I upload a variation notice with the original statement?
Yes. Combining the original statement and the later variation in one readable file gives the product more context for locating changed terms and inconsistencies.
Does the review check the June 2026 contract changes?
The current Wales reference frame includes the new fundamental terms that took effect from 1 June 2026. The review can flag discriminatory wording and missing or unclear variation language where it appears in the supplied document.
Can I choose the side the report supports?
Yes. Select Contract-holder, Landlord or Neutral before analysis. The same clause is then scored and explained from the perspective relevant to your decision.
What is the difference between Basic and Detailed Analysis?
Basic is a quicker first pass for a straightforward file. Detailed Analysis is the stronger option for clause-level findings, risk prioritisation, evidence anchors and a deeper statement map.
