    Hope?

    Where property is concerned you need some certainties because hope will not help you when the wotsit hits the thingummy.

    Quite frankly, why you would quibble about £10 is beyond me.

    Sorry to be blunt. What it a tenant you don't know and who can only be reasonably referenced moves in and wrecks YOUR house? It is an asset that is worth/costs hundreds of thousands of pounds in many cases. You also would have to spend YOUR own money putting it back together again after the tenant finally moves on.

    To avoid the many pitfalls of being a landlord pay the £10 or join the landlords zone as mentioned above. After all, you want a contract worth the paper you print it on not which costs less than the sheets of paper to get.

    Neither £10 nor a lawyer will get a water tight AST agreement so you may as well use your own. If every piece of legal jargon is empahsised with a clear aim, it will be more legally binding than a typical lawyer's effort.

    Typically, lawyers are good for nothing harpies.
