Landlord and Tenant

Lease Extension

A lease extension is a legal agreement between the Freeholder and the Leaseholder that replaces the existing lease with a new one with a longer term. The leasing agreement specifies any new terms as well as the start and end dates of the lease extension.

Possession Actions

Residential tenancies are strictly controlled by legislation. If you need to obtain possession of a residential property as a Landlord, Caroline can advise you on the steps you need to take to regain possession successfully.

Squatter Proceedings

In England and Wales, "squatting" is the act of someone occupying a property with the intent to live there but having no legal right to do so. If uninterrupted, the doctrine of adverse possession allows a squatter to eventually gain a legal interest in the property. In most cases, upon discovery of the squatters, a landlord can retrieve their property through the Interim Possession Order process which will normally result in eviction of the squatters within a few weeks.
