Homelessness

Boundary disputes

In a world where many of us live in close proximity to our neighbours, it’s not uncommon for confusion regarding boundaries to arise. However, when handled correctly, a boundary dispute doesn’t have to mean falling out with your neighbours. Many boundary issues can be resolved amicably and fairly.

Buying at auction

Buying property at auction can be an exciting experience and is often a great way to get a good deal. However, it can also be a step into the unknown - particularly if it’s your first time. By talking to a legal expert before buying at auction you can approach the process with confidence and avoid costly mistakes.

Contract disputes

Dealing with property issues can sometimes be complex - particularly when other parties are involved. That’s why contracts exist to help things run smoothly. And whether you own or rent property, at some stage you will probably enter into a contract with another party.

Homelessness

If you’re homeless or being threatened with homelessness, it can be a confusing and lonely time. And if your local council isn’t providing the help you need, you may not know where to turn next.

Housing disputes

Your home is a sanctuary where you should feel safe and secure. However, housing disputes can turn your home into a source of anxiety. It's essential to resolve these disputes promptly, and often, legal assistance is necessary to navigate the complexities of housing law. Our Housing Solicitors are experts in this field, advocating for clients on issues involving housing associations and residents’ rights.

Investment and buy to let properties

More and more people are enjoying the rewards of investing in property. And buying-to-let is a great way to ensure that your property provides a regular income and strong return on your investment. The key to successful property investment is to do your homework and seek expert legal advice before investing in a property.

Leasehold Enfranchisements

Leasehold properties are a diminishing asset, which is why purchasing the freehold title of your house, terrace, maisonette or flat may be financially beneficial to you. It is more common for flats to be sold as leaseholds, but some new build houses can be sold as leaseholds too. Without owning the freehold title, it will cost each time you wish to extend the lease and you will have ongoing expenses to your freeholder for insurance, service charges and ground rent. In addition, some contract clauses may be unappealing to buyers, which could make your property unsellable.

Leasehold Extensions

All leasehold properties have an expiry date, meaning the ownership of the property will revert back to the freehold owner once the lease term comes to an end. To prevent that from happening and losing your asset, keep track of your lease length and don’t let it get too low. The shorter the period left on the lease, the quicker the leasehold will diminish in value.

Leasehold properties

If you’re looking for advice about leaseholds, our property solicitors are here to help. Leasehold is a particular type of property ownership that comes with its own unique legal rights and responsibilities. Many flats in the UK are sold on a leasehold basis but leasehold can apply to other properties too.

Neighbour disputes and anti-social behaviour

In an ideal world, we would all get on with our neighbours all of the time. But in reality, living close to other people can sometimes be difficult and disagreements can arise. If left unresolved, minor annoyances can often turn into major disputes so it’s always best to tackle issues as soon as they occur and try your best to stay on good terms with your neighbours.

Notarial services for residential property

Whether you’re buying, selling, renting or leasing property or land abroad, there will be times when you need to present documentation to foreign authorities. And because every country has its own property laws, it’s important to ensure your documents will be accepted. It may therefore be necessary to have the documents validated (notarised) by a Notary in the UK.

Party walls

When building work, repairs or improvements are carried out to a property, the work may impact on neighbours who share a wall or boundary. Therefore the Party Wall Act was introduced to minimise disputes between neighbours when work is being completed. The Party Wall Act covers work to shared walls but can also cover work being carried out close to neighbouring boundaries or buildings.

Rehousing and transfers

It’s important for people to live in a home that meets the requirements of their family. Rehousing is the process of relocating families or individuals from one place to another. Sometimes, for various reasons, your current home may not be suitable for the needs of you and your family. In these circumstances, you may wish to be rehoused or transferred to another property.

Remortgaging

As a homeowner, at some point you may wish to consider remortgaging – either to take advantage of a better mortgage deal or to release money from your property. And with different mortgage providers offering different deals, you may wish to consider changing to a new lender.
Quality solicitors property solicitors have extensive experience in new mortgages, mortgage debt, current mortgage deal and mortgage repayments.

Right to Manage

Choosing to buy the freehold title of your property may prove too costly or lengthy, which is why you may consider taking over the management responsibilities of the property from the freeholder instead. While this won’t grant you all of the benefits of owning the freehold, it will give you and your fellow leaseholders more control over the common areas of your property through a process known as Right to Manage.

Tenancy agreements and deposits

Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, it makes good sense to have a solid tenancy agreement in place. Not only will this highlight your rights and responsibilities but it will also help maintain a positive relationship between you and your landlord or tenant.

Transfer of title

Unlawful eviction

Being forced to leave your home is upsetting and stressful whatever the circumstances. But if your landlord has evicted you without following the correct procedures, they may have broken the law and you may be able to take action against them.
