    Our Property Litigation Team Can Help 

    As a landlord, there are a number of reasons you may need to recover possession of a property, the most common being that a tenant has stopped paying rent. If a tenant does not vacate your property by the date specified in a notice, they may no longer have a legal claim behind their occupancy, and you can apply to the court for a possession order. However, it is important to take the right steps when proceeding, to avoid both costs and legal complications. This is why it is important to seek legal advice from Property Litigation solicitors as soon as possible.  
     
    As a tenant, you may feel that your landlord issued a notice or issued possession proceedings  prematurely or made an error in their drafting. If this is the case, legal advice and support can greatly support your claim. 
     
    Possession claims are decided at a court hearing: however, it is recommended to seek a resolution outside of court first if possible, as this can save you both time and expense.  
     
    In litigation, the sooner you seek legal advice, the better a position you will be in. Approach your claim for possession in the best way, with expert support: contact our London-based Property Litigation team today.

    Highly recommended. Took all of the strain and stress during conveyancing and explained everything clearly and concisely.

    Family & Divorce

    Over the period I found you to be professional, assured, confident and well-prepared dealing with the technical and complex. Sometimes issues were almost forensic. This was complimented by your ability to understand the personal anxiety that a client experiences as the process takes different directions and help with an empathetic approach which was much valued.

    Your great patience was much appreciated, your lovely approach to people made me feel like a friend rather than a client- that makes the trauma of divorce easier to get through. Thank you again for everything.

    I just wanted to thank you for all the time, effort and meticulous attention to detail regarding my case over the past year or so.  You are always prepared to go the extra mile, working long hours and your ability to recall the smallest and often most significant details amongst a wealth of facts in my highly complex case never ceases to amaze me.  I appreciate all you have done and the manner in which you conducted my case and liaised with me throughout. It was very reassuring to have you on my side.  I do not know what I would have done without you.
