About the deal

Perdeep Grewal of Birkett Long was instructed by Posh Maintenance Limited to recover £64,361 for internal refurbishment works carried out in central London for a large property management group. Posh Maintenance is a building completion and finishing contractor which carries out refurbishment works in southeast England. A payment application was issued for the sum of £56,750 plus VAT and payment should have been made to Posh Maintenance in 14 days. The debtor failed to serve a payless notice on time.

How did Birkett Long add value to the client?

Posh Maintenance spent 2 months trying to obtain payment but without any success. Perdeep Grewal advised Posh Maintenance that enforcement proceedings were necessary, and immediately sent a statutory demand to the debtor. Posh Maintenance confirmed payment of £64,361 was successfully received within 3 weeks from serving the statutory demand.
