Our first product goes live

June 3, 2011 by Tessa Shepperson

Well we now have our first product in Your Law Store, and I am pleased to say that it is selling like crazy. This may be because we have a special launch offer on of course – which will end on Tuesday (7 June 2011).

We have also made live the lodger landlord section which has two products in at present:

A lodger agreement

This can be used for most lodger situations. It has very detailed instructions so you should not have much problem in using it.

A letter of authority for housing benefit tenants

If you have a lodger on HB or local housing allowance and you want to check with the benefit office, for example to find out when they are going to make payment, the benefit office will usally refuse to speak to you, becuase of the Date Protection Act. However if you have a signed copy of this letter to give them, the Data Protection Act will no longer be an issue and they should give you all the information you ask for.

We hope to be ablet to load up some more lodger forms shortly. If there are any particuarl forms you would like, please leave a message in the comment box below.

The problems that can occur if you don’t know what you are doing ..

If you are a landlord or an agent, you need to be careful when serving section 21 notices. It is possible to go spectacularly wrong if you don’t get your paperwork right.

See >> here for a few stories about people who got it wrong and a few stories about people who got it right.

Which would YOU rather be?

Introduction to Your Law Store

May 4, 2011 by admin

Your Law Store is a new service from me, Tessa Shepperson and Gill Bishop. Gill and I have been working together forever, I first met up with her in the late 1990’s, about 1999/98 I think.

At that time the internet was not nearly so well known. It had always fascinated me, and Gill was recommended to me as a web designer. She did a little site for me at that time, and then, when I decided to develop an online membership site for Landlords in 2001 (www.landlordlaw.co.uk) she was the obvious choice to create the site for me.

So Gill and I worked together through the ‘noughties’ culminating in the huge amount of work involved in building a new Landlord Law site and transferring all the content over, in 2010.

That done, both Gill and I felt we wanted a bit of respite from Landlord Law! Gill by that stage had set up her own business, Gill Bishop Web Design, and I had started writing ebooks and kits. It seemed the obvious thing to set up an ecommerce business together, completely separate from my solicitors business.

For I am a solicitor and Landlord Law is the online manifestation of my legal practice TJ Shepperson Solicitors. However Your Law Store (which is run through a limited company called Zollch Ltd) is not offering any kind of legal service (other than the products) it is Gill and me ‘selling stuff’.

Gill does all the ‘techie things’ – she built this site, and does all the designing, book templates and such, and anything techie and webby.

I am the writer. I will be (mostly) writing this blog, and a large amount of the products sold here (initially all the products sold here) will be by me. I will also be doing much of the liaison with other writers and affiliates, and orchestrating the product launches.

But really we will both be doing a bit of everything. Its a partnership and great fun.

If you want to keep up with what we are doing (and we have lots of things planned) please sign up for our mailing list. Then you will learn about our special offers before anyone else!
