My role

I provide non-contentious specialist housing management advice and training to registered providers. I advise extensively on leasehold management queries including the Right to Manage, Leasehold Enfranchisement, appointment of a manager and leaseholder rights and obligations generally. I frequently provide full occupancy agreement/policy and procedure reviews. I also regularly provide specialist advice on housing management issues including rent review, service charges, succession, consultation and compliance with housing legislation and guidance.

My experience

I started my career at specialised housing management firm, Gorrara Haden Solicitors, where in addition to advising on non-contentious housing management issues, I also gained experience of a wide range of housing management litigation, including service charge disputes, and the enforcement of tenancy agreements through possession and injunction proceedings, arising largely out of anti-social behaviour, illegal use, condition of property and unlawful occupation. I also have experience of planning and delivering bespoke training packages on a wide range of housing management issues. Since joining Anthony Collins, I have concentrated on non-contentious technical housing management advice and training.
