This document template has been kept simple so that you can use it even on a very small job.  We have included terms that limit your liability for work not done, breach of agreement or accident, and protect you from excessive claims from the client for things you could not foresee. The confidentiality paragraph helps to prevent unhappy clients posting negative reviews about your business on social networks and forums.
 
We have provided several payment options to make sure that you get paid what the client owes you for youra work, in full and on time. In case the client does not pay up-front, the contract contains alternative provisions for payment.
 
Most importantly, the agreement provides the simplest framework  to deal with the Building (Residential Consumer Rights and Remedies) Regulations 2014. We have included  precise requirements and procedure. 
 
You can put this document to your client and say “This is what we have agreed. Sign here.” You do not want to be embarrassed in presenting ten pages of legalese. We are giving you a document you can re-format to print on two sides of A4. 
 
This contract also contains drafting notes to make quite clear what the text means and to advise you on choosing from the options we give.

What Our Clients Say

  • "I used Netlawman to pre-work some contracts for my lawyer. He came back stating that the forms were 'excellent' and saved me several billable hours."

    Chris T.

  • "I needed an Agreement and Google, as always, was where I headed. I found the Net Lawman site and initially I thought I needed a relationship type Agreement but the Lodger one was absolutely perfect.

    I didn't think it would be so easy so would recommend your website to anybody who was looking for an Agreement to suit their needs."

    Wendy Auger

  • "I appreciate your patience. I have to say though it took me a while (I had almost given up) to come across your internet site, but I was quite impressed with the manoverabilty of the site itself and the services it offers. Normally I am very cautious about internet services and am pleasantly impressed by you professional response. Without doubt I will definitely be recommending yourselves to others."
