Landlord and Tenant

We have specialist knowledge in this area and are adept at providing a full range of services to both landlords and tenants. This can be in the context of residential or commercial property.

Our experience shows that obtaining professional support and advice from the outset is highly beneficial not only in order to guarantee that the correct steps are taken but also to discuss the tactical approaches available to you. For example this can be during negotiations surrounding the Heads of Terms where we can highlight the key areas and ensure the apportionment of risk is appropriate in order to achieve a fair contractual agreement that also protects your interests. Not only does this provide valuable guidance throughout the process but negates the possibility of any future issues.

Our services include:

• The interpretation of leases
• Tenant insolvency – rights and remedies
• Exercising break clauses
• Lease renewals (including under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 together with any tactical considerations)
• Variations, Surrenders and Forfeitures
• Drafting Tenancy Agreements/Leases
• Section 8 and Section 21 Notices
• Recovery of rent arrears
• Obtaining an Order for Possession
