If as a residential landlord you are having problems with your tenant our litigation team can advise you on how to deal with your dispute.
Landlords seeking to recover possession without legal support can have their claims rejected by the Court if the claim is not technically correct. Our specialists can provide assistance in the following areas:
- Demand letters to tenants
- Notice to the tenant
- Claims for possession against a tenant
- Claims for the recovery of rent against a tenant
- Claims for the recovery of rent against a guarantor
- Enforcement of Court Judgments and eviction notices.
It is not always necessary to apply to the Courts. We understand that sometimes all that is required is a letter to the tenant in order to reach a mutually beneficial agreement and to avoid the dispute escalating.
Likewise you may have already tried these avenues and the only option may be to revert to the Court. We can help with notices, advise Landlords in relation to the correct notice, prepare Court proceedings and advise Landlords in respect of the correct proceedings to issue.
Long Leaseholds
Service Charges
If as a residential landlord you are having problems recovering service charges our litigation team can advise you on how to recover the monies due from the leaseholder. We can advise you in relation to:
- recovery the debt;
- the terms of your lease;
- the possibility of forfeiture;
- disputes against you at the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal.
In all instances we understand that a professional letter requesting the payment can lead to an amicable settlement where there may otherwise be a dispute.
Disrepair disputes
The litigation team at Wellers can advise Landlords whose tenants may have brought a disrepair claim against them. We can provide specialist advice in relation to:
- the Landlord’s obligations;
- whether the correct pre-action protocol has been followed;
- the Court procedure and the necessary steps.
Likewise if as a Landlord you feel you may have a claim against a leaseholder for disrepair we can advise you in relation to a potential claim and the relevant Court procedure.
Boundary disputes
If you have a dispute with your neighbour over where a boundary lies then we can work with your surveyor and advise you as to your legal rights.
