Landlords and Tenants

We are able to advise Landlords and Tenants with both residential and commercial premises. We’re able to assist on all aspects of starting and ending tenancies, and everything in between, from disrepair and service charge disputes to rent arrears.

We deal regularly with:

• Advocacy
• Absent landlord for enfranchisement and lease extension
• Application to tribunal
• Assured shorthold tenancy agreements
• Breaches of covenants
• Collective enfranchisement
• Enfranchisement and lease extension of flats and houses

• Service charges

We advise on a spectrum of property disputes ranging from issues arising out of the landlord and tenant relationship to disputes concerning trusts of land and complex boundary disputes.

Our specialist team has considerable experience in acting for clients in the County Court and High Court in all forms of property litigation. We offer targeted, effective advice to enable both individuals and businesses to resolve their disputes in the most pragmatic way. Often, litigation is not the most effective way to resolve a dispute and our team can provide advice and representation in mediation.

The firm acts for a number of developers, investment companies, property management agents, charities, and private landlords.
