I don't recommend engaging council for this because it will cost you a fortune. And in the not unlikely event that you lose, you have to pay their costs as well. You have to ask yourself, "is this something worth spending my house on?"

By "engaging counsel", I didn't mean suing them. I meant getting professional advice regarding the situation.

That tends to involve less than a house, but still costs more than the Switch itself.

(I just got a quote this morning for a what I thought would be simply "explain my property deeds", and it came out at £500...)

So is there a UK equivalent of Nolo?

I'm not sure. There is a small claims court system, but we were talking about slander/libel in which case https://www.justanswer.com/uk-law/7bj5d-sue-someone-libel-sm...

I really would not recommend getting involved with libel law on a pro-se basis.
