David has substantial experience in real estate litigation, with a particular specialism in boundary disputes, easement claims and Land Registration issues. He regularly works on cases involving large scale housing developments.
David is also frequently instructed on complex landlord and tenant cases. In a commercial context, this includes claims involving lease renewal, dilapidations, forfeiture and interpretation of covenants. He is well versed in the intricacies of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
In terms of residential property, David deals with all matters regarding possession, disrepair and other breaches of covenant. His previous experience in social housing law also gives him particular expertise in unusual matters involving security of tenure.
Additionally, David is instructed on numerous FTT applications involving service charges. These include a number of on-going very high value cladding disputes.

Outside of his caseload, David engages in substantial business development, including frequent presentations at seminars and the writing of well-received articles. His recent article on boundary agreements was described by Ruoff & Roper on Registered Conveyancing as “a powerful challenge” to the decision in Gibson v New [2021] EWHC 1811 (QB).
