She acts for landlords and tenants in disputes involving dilapidations, service charge, the validity of break notices, rent review and lease renewal and other landlord and tenant disputes including possession and forfeiture.

She also specialises in advising land owners on the interpretation of property contracts such as options and pre-emptions, rectification (both Land Registry and Deed rectification), trespass, adverse possession, restrictive covenants and easements.
