OUR SERVICES
CASE REVIEW
The law relating to renting out a property can be complicated, and mistakes can cost time and money. If you have a problem relating to a property you are renting out, run it by us for free
TENANCY AGREEMENT
When letting out a property, you should always make sure you have something in writing. This is to protect yourself and ensure the tenant knows what is expected of them. There are different options depending on your circumstances
LEGAL LETTER
If you are having problems with your tenant, we can send them a letter which in most cases is enough to resolve the issue. These letters can be used in lots of situations to seek to prompt compliance by your tenant or resolve issues practically, quickly, and effectively
NOTICES
The formal legal process relating to seeking possession of your property, increasing the rent, or dealing with property left behind after a tenancy ends
POSSESSION
You should never just change the locks of tenanted property – this is unlawful and illegal! Once a notice has expired, the next step is to obtain an Order for Possession from the Court
WARRANT
Even when you have an Order for Possession, you still cannot just change the locks on expiry. The final step is to arrange for a Court Bailiff to attend to forcibly remove the tenant, if needed
DEPOSIT DISPUTES
Providing support when you are in breach of the deposit requirements by advising on your obligations and protecting your legal and financial position
DISREPAIR
When allegations are made regarding the condition of your tenanted property, we can support you with a quick, fair and cost-effective resolution
TENANCY DEBT
Sometimes getting your property back is not the end of the story. If a former tenant owes you money, we can help you take steps to recover what they owe you
