Expert housing management and litigation solicitors

Leading housing management & litigation services

Our housing management and housing litigation solicitors advise landlords on protecting their assets and their reputation. We offer strategic legal advice and proactive management solutions to shield landlords from disrepair claims, anti-social behaviour, and regulatory intervention, so that your tenants, agreements and policies meet the highest standards of housing management law, regulation and best practice.

From drafting robust tenancy agreements and service level agreements, to navigating complex possession proceedings and tribunal representations, we are on-hand to guide housing providers through every stage of their landlord-tenant relationship. With experience working alongside a significant number of housing providers, our expert team has the experience to balance technical precision for policy reviews or rent increases with the urgency needed for high-stakes housing litigation.

As legislative changes evolve over time, such as the Renters’ Rights Act and Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act, we can advise on how this will impact you and your organisation, and what you can do to form a successful long-term asset management strategy.

Lettings, rents & housing policies

Our housing management solicitors offer advice on lettings and housing policies to help housing associations, charities and local authority landlords manage their tenancies.

We support landlords navigating the legal intricacies of tenancies and leases, helping to resolve possession proceedings, disrepair claims or compliance and regulatory investigations. We also advise on complex lettings issues, like illegal subletting, fraud, and the removal of occupiers after tenant death. We’re experienced in reviewing policies to comply with housing management law and regulatory requirements, and can identify risks for landlords as well as develop strategies to safeguard against future claims.

We have significant expertise in the law and regulatory requirements of rents and service charges, so that housing association, charity and local authority landlords can ensure the validity of the rents and service charges they charge tenants and leaseholders. We also support cases when landlords have not got this correct, or are challenged by residents.

If you need advice on lettings, rents, service charges or housing policies, contact our housing management lawyers.
