OUR APPROACH
Clarity you can inspect.A process you control.
Your service charge deserves a careful reading. We make the figures, sources and limits visible, so you can decide what to question and when to bring in a professional.
Evidence comes first
Quantified adjustments require supplied lease facts or a clear accounting discrepancy. Conditional RICS review points remain evidence queries until a person verifies them.
Estimates stay provisional
Calculations use the supplied figures and are capped at the demand. They are screening estimates, not a promise of recovery or confirmation of what is legally due.
Representation has a human gate
A trained reviewer must approve a represented case before Chargewise sends a query. The separate self-service Evidence Pack is automated and is for you to verify before use.
We show our working
You see the indicated apportionment, explicit exclusions, evidence queries and pound impact of each quantified point. No hidden residual uplift.
When no adjustment is found
We will tell you plainly.
When the automated screening finds no quantified adjustment, we say exactly that. It is not presented as a legal all-clear or used to manufacture a case.
“The automated check screened all ten line items using the supplied figures and found no supportable monetary adjustment. A lease or evidence review may still change the position, and we have not assumed universal RICS percentage limits.”
A bright line on what we are.
