Tenancy & Property Agreement Reviews

Primary focus: compliance with the Renters' Rights Act 2026 (England) and the Private Housing (Tenancies) Act 2016 (Scotland).

Who this is for

Property
  • Letting Agents: bulk scan your portfolio so older templates do not include banned fees or invalid possession wording.
  • Landlords: sanity check a standard agreement before it is challenged as unfair or non compliant.

What we check

First pass
  • Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST): flags Section 21 style clauses that are void under new reforms.
  • Commercial leases: break clauses, rent review cadence, and full repairing and insuring risks.
  • Renters' Rights Act checks: deposit cap signals (5 weeks) and prohibited admin fees.

Jurisdictions covered

We map the same document type to different rulebooks depending on the governing law.

England: Renters' Rights Act & Tenant Fees Act Scotland: Private Residential Tenancies (PRT) Wales: Occupation Contracts NI: Private Tenancies Order

Employment & Contractor Compliance

Primary focus: IR35 status, Inside vs Outside indicators, and staffing contract red flags.

Who this is for

Recruitment
  • Recruitment Agencies: scan Key Information Documents (KIDs) and contractor agreements before sending to clients.
  • Contractors: check whether a service agreement reads like employment, which can increase tax exposure.

What we check

IR35 signals
  • Employment contracts: post termination restrictions (non compete, non solicitation).
  • Service agreements: MOO and substitution / control wording that can push risk Inside IR35.
  • Settlement agreements: redundancy signals and confidentiality scope checks.

Useful for first pass triage

We surface the clauses recruiters and contractors typically renegotiate: substitution, control, termination, and restrictive covenants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you help with IR35 determinations?

We review Service Agreements for indicators of IR35 status, such as Right of Substitution and Control. While we flag risks that suggest you might fall Inside IR35, this is an information service, not a formal tax opinion from HMRC.

Q: Do you review Commercial Leases?

Yes. We perform a First Pass review on Commercial Leases to highlight critical dates (Break Clauses), rent review mechanisms, and repair obligations. Commercial property law is complex, so we recommend a final review by a chartered surveyor or solicitor.

Q: What is the difference between an NDA and a DPA?

An NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) protects general secrets and business ideas. A DPA (Data Processing Agreement) is required under GDPR when you share personal customer data with a vendor. Our AI scans both, but the risk signals and statutory checks differ.

Q: Is this suitable for Scottish Missives?

Yes. Our engine is trained on Scots Law and understands the specific terminology used in Scottish contract formation (Missives), including differences in the way contract formation is handled compared with English law.
