We advise individuals and collective groups of individuals who encounter disputes and issues arising out of Real Estate ownership, control, management, acquisition or disposal, and all of the rights and obligations associated with Real Estate.

Our individual clients include Real Estate owners, investor owners, private landlords, tenants, collective groups of tenants, tenant owned companies and associations, based both here in the UK and overseas.

We deal with all aspects of landlord and tenant law, as well as development, planning, construction, mortgage issues, and rent & service charge collections. We are known for our expertise in leasehold and freehold enfranchisement law, and appear regularly for landlords and tenants in the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal and Upper Tribunal.

Our objective is to provide our clients with a coherent explanation of the law and comprehensive advice relevant to their particular circumstances.
