Being a landlord in the UK is rewarding, but it also comes with complex legal obligations and risks.

When disputes arise, it’s not just your property at stake – it’s your income, your peace of mind, and your future plans.

Our expert landlord solicitors are here to protect your rights, resolve disputes quickly, and ensure you stay compliant with landlord and tenant law.

Specialist Landlord Legal Services

Whether you’re dealing with rent arrears, problem tenants, or repossession issues, we provide practical, legally sound advice tailored to your situation. With offices across Kent in Sevenoaks, Orpington, Bromley, Biggin Hill and Gravesend, we combine local market knowledge with decades of landlord law experience.

We can assist you with:

  • Rent Arrears Recovery – issuing letters before action, negotiating payment plans, and pursuing claims through the County Court if necessary.

  • Tenant Eviction Notices – drafting and serving valid Section 8 and Section 21 notices to minimise delay and ensure compliance with the Housing Act 1988.

  • Possession Proceedings – applying for possession orders, representing you in court, and obtaining bailiff appointments if tenants refuse to leave.

  • Tenancy Disputes – including breach of tenancy agreements, unauthorised subletting, or property damage.

  • Deposit Disputes – advising on compliance with tenancy deposit schemes and resolving disagreements with tenants.

  • Licensing & Compliance – ensuring you meet your legal obligations under the Housing Act, including HMO licensing, health and safety regulations, and right-to-rent checks.

  • Defending Landlord Claims – protecting you if tenants or local authorities bring claims, including unlawful eviction allegations or harassment complaints.

We understand the importance of acting quickly and strategically. From pre-action letters to court representation, we’ll handle every stage with precision to safeguard your interests.
