Our experienced dispute resolution solicitors advise landlords and tenants on a wide range of residential and commercial property disputes.
Whether you are dealing with possession proceedings, rent arrears, disrepair, a lease dispute or concerns about the obligations of a landlord or tenant, we provide clear, practical advice tailored to your circumstances.
We advise on a wide range of landlord and tenant disputes, including residential tenancy matters and commercial lease disputes.
Our team can assist with:
Landlord and tenant disputes can become increasingly difficult to resolve when communication breaks down and positions become entrenched.
Where appropriate, we will explore whether the dispute can be resolved through correspondence, negotiation or alternative dispute resolution. Resolving a dispute without court proceedings may help reduce costs, save time and preserve an ongoing landlord and tenant relationship.
Where litigation becomes necessary, our experienced dispute resolution solicitors can guide you through the court or tribunal process and represent your interests.
The law relating to residential tenancies and possession has changed significantly.
Since 1 May 2026, landlords of assured periodic tenancies must rely on a legally valid ground for possession and follow the correct legal process. New Section 21 notices can no longer be served, although transitional rules may still apply to some notices and proceedings started before 1 May 2026.
We advise landlords seeking possession of a property and tenants facing possession proceedings. We can also assist with rent arrears, property disrepair and disputes concerning the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants.
Commercial lease disputes can have significant financial and operational consequences for landlords and business tenants.
We advise on lease forfeiture, enforcement of lease covenants, service charge disputes, business lease renewals, dilapidations and break clauses.
Where a business tenancy has security of tenure under Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, the tenant may have a statutory right to a new tenancy, subject to the provisions of the Act and any applicable grounds of opposition.
Our solicitors can review the terms of the lease, advise you on your legal position and help you take appropriate steps to resolve the dispute.
