Where Do I Stand
Understand where you stand.
A plain-English report on how the law applies to your situation.
For everyday situations in the UK — renting, work, neighbours, school, family and things you’ve bought.
How it works
Three steps, in plain English.
Tell us what happened
In plain English — no legal words needed. Tell us what happened, in your own words.
We research your situation
How the law generally applies to a situation like yours, with the relevant rules named — and where it’s worth seeing a professional.
You get a report to keep
Emailed to you as a PDF: a clear starting point, your options, and a next-steps checklist you can act on or take to a solicitor.
What we can help with
Everyday legal questions in the UK.
- Home and renting — deposits, evictions, repairs, disagreements with a landlord or letting agent
- Work — your rights and what your contract says about pay, redundancy, hours
- Neighbours — boundaries, party walls, fences, noise
- School — places, exclusions, SEND and EHCPs
- Family — separating, divorce, arrangements for children
- Buying things — refunds, faulty goods, builders and tradespeople, contracts and memberships
These are examples, not the whole list. Some things aren’t for us — injury and compensation claims, immigration, and debt solutions among them — and we check your situation before you pay anything. See what we can and can’t help with.
What it costs
One report, or a membership.
One-off report
£19

Before you spend on legal time
Save time and money before you speak to a solicitor.
Go straight to a solicitor and part of what you pay for is their time spent gathering and organising the facts of your situation — before anything legal has even begun. This report does that groundwork first, and gives you a solid understanding of your position before you approach expensive legal services.
Save on legal time
Much of the early cost of legal help is a professional’s time spent assembling the facts. Arriving with that already set out means their time — and your money — goes to the advice itself.
A solid understanding of your position
A plain-English report that sets out where you stand, yours to keep and to hand to a solicitor — so you go in understanding your own situation.
When it needs a professional
The report flags where a situation is likely to need a regulated professional — including where we are not the right place to bring it — so your time and money go where they count.
What’s in the report?
A plain-English account of your situation, the rules that generally apply to situations like it, the options usually open at this stage, and a next-steps checklist — a clear starting point you can act on or take to a professional.
It’s information, not legal advice. No solicitor has reviewed it, it doesn’t tell you how your situation will end, and it isn’t a substitute for advice on your own facts.
What you get — and what this isn’t
- ✓ A structured starting point for professional advice
- ✓ Written in plain English, for your specific situation
- ✓ Yours to keep, and to hand to a solicitor
- — Not legal advice, and not a solicitor acting for you
- — Not a promise about how your situation will end
- — Some situations need a regulated professional — we’ll say so and point you onward
A one-off report, with no account needed to start.
