Landlord & tenant law is one of the most complex and specialised areas upon which solicitors are asked to advise.
On the commercial side, we regularly undertake forfeiture proceedings for landlord clients, as well as dealing with dilapidations and other breaches of convenant. Our team can also undertake such matters as the acquisition by tenants of the freeholds of their blocks of flats under the Landlord & Tenant Act 1987 or the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993.
Hasty actions - such as eviction by a landlord, or refusal of rent by tenants - can lead to serious penalties if the law is infringed. However reasonable it may seem to take a particular action, the legal implications may prove more damaging in the future, and it is always advisable to seek legal advice before taking action.
