Our Property Litigation Services
Landlord and Tenant Disputes
We act for both commercial landlords and tenants on the full range of contentious issues, including rent arrears, service charge disputes, breach of covenant, forfeiture, and lease renewal disputes under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. Our commercial landlords and tenants team works closely with our litigation solicitors to deliver joined-up advice.
Lease Disputes and Termination
Disputes over commercial leases frequently arise around break clauses, rent reviews, dilapidations claims, and lease surrender negotiations. We advise on enforcing or defending lease terms and help you navigate complex termination processes to protect your position.
Property Development Disputes
Development projects can generate disputes over planning conditions, construction defects, rights of light, party wall issues, and restrictive covenants. We support developers and landowners through negotiation, mediation, and litigation to keep projects moving forward.
Boundary and Easement Disputes
Boundary disputes and disagreements over rights of way, access, and easements can halt transactions and damage neighbouring relationships. We resolve these disputes through negotiation where possible or court proceedings where necessary, drawing on expert surveyor evidence.
Dilapidations Claims
Whether you are a landlord pursuing a dilapidations claim at lease end or a tenant defending one, we provide strategic advice on schedules of dilapidations, quantification of claims, and settlement negotiations. Early involvement often significantly reduces costs and achieves better outcomes.
Leasehold and Enfranchisement Disputes
We advise freeholders and leaseholders on contentious leasehold and collective enfranchisement matters, including lease extension disputes, service charge challenges, right to manage claims, and collective enfranchisement under the Leasehold Reform Act.
Possession and Trespass Claims
When you need to recover possession of commercial or residential property — whether from tenants, squatters, or trespassers — we act swiftly to secure court orders and enforce your rights. Speed is critical in possession matters, and we prioritise urgent instructions.
Professional Negligence Claims
If a surveyor, solicitor, or other property professional has provided negligent advice that caused you financial loss, we pursue professional negligence claims to recover your losses. We also defend property professionals facing such claims.
