Verbal Agreement

foxy6

Hi all, looking for advice. I booked a venue for an event for a 3 year period. It was all agreed and we ran it year 1. Year 2 we confirmed the date in March. In the following June the venue told me they had new terms of requiring a large deposit (which I can not afford)! thus trying to change the terms of our agreement. In the July we had a meeting and they told me they had another interested party and if they could provide a deposit then they could have our date. Can you please advise on what if anything I can do?
Thanks in advance

The charter prohibits legal advice but its worth going to a solicitor if there is a decent amount of money involved. Don't rely on what posters here say, at least not posters who have difficulty spelling a 2 letter word.

Call a few solicitors and see if any of them will give you a short consultation for free. Many do.

Well you could always hire me. 50 quid for a quite word, 100 for a slightly louder word. 250 will buy you what's called in the trade "bruising the fruit" or "light touch regulation". For lasting impressions, the "left or right?" package, the fee climbs but is negotiable.
