The relationship between a residential landlord and tenant does not always run smoothly; disputes can, and do, arise. Our property dispute solicitors in Essex and London have significant experience in bringing these types of cases to a successful resolution.
A leaseholder may be in dispute with their landlord over service charges they have been asked to pay under the lease. A leaseholder can take steps to dispute the reasonableness of service charges and, if necessary, apply to the First Tier Tribunal for a declaration that the service charges are unreasonable. Our property litigation lawyers have experience of acting for landlords, individual leaseholders, or groups of leaseholders in service charge disputes across Essex, London and further afield.
Our residential property litigation lawyers are able to assist landlords when seeking possession of a property let under assured short-hold tenancies. We act on numerous possession claims for Landlords every year to recover possession of properties let on assured short-hold tenancies, both where the tenancy has ended and where the tenant has failed to pay the rent. Our lawyers are also highly experienced at recovering rent arrears.
Here at Pinney Talfourd, we understand that litigation might not be the best way to resolve a dispute; we hold significant experience of providing alternative ways to resolve disputes such as mediation or arbitration. If court proceedings are required, our committed litigators will be with you every step of the way.
