Whether you require advice on the terms of a lease, rent arrears, possession proceedings or an ongoing landlord and tenant dispute, our team will explain your legal position clearly and advise you on the options available.
Advice for Landlords
We advise landlords on their rights and obligations and can assist with matters including leases and tenancy agreements, rent and service charge recovery, breaches of covenant, possession proceedings and other property-related disputes.
Where a dispute arises, we will consider the most practical and cost-effective way of resolving the matter while protecting your position.
Advice for Tenants
We also act for residential and commercial tenants in relation to disputes with landlords and issues arising under leases and tenancy agreements.
Our team can review the relevant documentation, explain your rights and obligations and advise on the appropriate steps to resolve the matter, whether through negotiation or, where necessary, court or tribunal proceedings.
Our Approach
Landlord and tenant law can be complex, particularly where leases, statutory requirements and possession procedures are involved.
Our approach is straightforward and practical. We will identify the key issues, explain your options in clear terms and work with you to achieve an appropriate resolution.
Where possible, we will seek to resolve disputes through negotiation and agreement. Where proceedings become necessary, we can advise and represent you throughout the process.
