The lease, decoded

Marguerite's lease, as offered to Dee: each line of the deal, what it means in money, and the question to ask. Illustrative; not legal advice.

Forty-one pages, "as discussed". Nothing has been discussed. Start with ten clauses.

Now decode your own

For each clause, mark your deal green (a cost you can see), amber (a cost to negotiate) or red (a risk whose size you have not been told). The page builds your question list.

Questions for your solicitor and surveyor

Clause descriptions from GOV.UK and law-firm and surveyor explainers read 13 October 2026 (Appendix A, S70–S81). Marguerite's terms are assumptions. Everything here is a question to put to your own solicitor; nothing is legal advice. Respects your reduced-motion setting.
