In the October edition of Property Law UK... Ian Quayle examines an intriguing case on whether a landlord can alter the method of apportionment of service charge. This case concerned a mixed-use development in which a residential leaseholder challenged the landlord’s decision to change the method of apportioning the service charge.

I was reading a post by Olusola Olagoke she wrote, in summary, that the cost of drawing up a contract is so little in comparison to the hefty cost of law suits. I have seen this play out too often in my experience in the legal profession and my real estate practice. Her post has prompted me to talk about the #advantages of a #contract, a written contract in particular. Some of the advantages include: 1. Clarity of Terms A written contract clearly lays out each party's duties, rights, and obligations. In real estate, this is particularly crucial for purchase agreements, lease agreements, and development contracts. 2. Prevents Disputes Verbal agreements are prone to misinterpretation. A written contract ensures that everyone is on the same page, reducing the chance of disputes. 3. Legal Protection Written contracts are enforceable in court, providing security if one party fails to meet their obligations. This enforceability discourages parties from acting in bad faith. Imagine signing a lease agreement and later discovering that the landlord refuses to fix structural defects. A written contract ensures you have the legal right to enforce necessary repairs. 4. Saves the Cost of Litigation One of the most significant advantages of a written contract is avoiding the cost of litigation. When the terms are clearly laid out, disputes are less likely to escalate into lawsuits. My Principal has represented clients where vague verbal agreements led to costly litigation over land sales. By simply using a clear, written contract, they could have avoided the tens of thousands in legal fees that a lawsuit brings. 5. Proof of Agreement If there is ever any doubt about what was agreed upon, a written contract serves as tangible proof, detailing every obligation. 6. Adaptability Written contracts can be amended or revised as circumstances change, providing flexibility while maintaining legal protection. For example, a property investor may need to extend a payment deadline or revise the scope of a development project. A written contract makes this easy to formalize without voiding the entire agreement.
