A fillable letter before claim for a homeowner whose building work has gone wrong, written for England and Wales. It carries what the Practice Direction on Pre-Action Conduct asks for and, because it is not settled whether a homeowner's small claim must follow it, what the Construction and Engineering Pre-Action Protocol's letter of claim contains: names and addresses, a summary of the facts, the contract terms and Consumer Rights Act 2015 sections relied on, what is wanted with a money breakdown, experts, documents, an offer of ADR naming any scheme, and a request for an acknowledgement in 14 days and a response in 28. Guide pages cover the steps before it, time limits, small claims, court fees and free mediation.

Written by a director of a UK building contractor with forty years in the industry. It has not been independently reviewed, and the document says so. It explains what the law in England and Wales says and helps you keep a record — it is not advice on your own situation. Every future revision is free. More for homeowners.

What it is not

It is not legal advice, it is not insurance, and it cannot make a builder or a neighbour do anything. It explains what the law in England and Wales says and gives you a clear record. For free advice on your own situation, ring the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 0808 223 1133.
