Notes from practice
Practical notes on the issues clients ask us about most.
Landlords
The pre-notice audit that decides whether a possession claim succeeds
Most failed possession claims are lost before the notice is served. This is the compliance and evidence audit we carry out for landlords first.
Commercial landlords
Forfeiture and waiver: the commercial landlord decisions taken in the first 48 hours
Demanding rent after learning of a breach can end the right to forfeit. Here is how commercial landlords keep their options open while they decide.
Leasehold
Service charge disputes: consultation, reasonableness and the tribunal
Where leasehold service charge disputes usually start, what the tribunal actually decides, and how to keep major works recoverable.
