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.
If you’re facing homelessness and need someone to help, you can visit Citizen Advice for more details.
We also recommend referring to this webpage from Shelter, a charity dedicated to supporting people facing homelessness.
They can provide you with advice and make your well-being a priority. And if you’re not sure if you’re eligible for council housing or have had a request turned down, they can provide the help and advice you need. If you have children, health problems or other special circumstances they often can take immediate action to ensure you are housed straightaway.

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.

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 important - a place where you should feel safe and secure. But when housing disputes arise; your home can become a cause of anxiety. It’s therefore important to try and resolve housing disputes as quickly as possible and sometimes you may need legal help to tackle the issues you are facing.
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.
Planning law
f you are looking to make changes to your home, there are planning laws that say what you can and cannot do. There are also specific processes to follow. QualitySolicitors take away many of the worries as we know you have enough on your plate. Our Conveyancing solicitors
simplify the complexities of planning law for you and ensure that you remain compliant with the law to avoid any planning issues.
Planning solicitors are legal experts who specialise in this field and can advise you regarding building regulations, planning applications, the environmental impact of suggested changes, any relevant appeal or judicial reviews.
Possession and repossession proceedings
If you're a homeowner or tenant facing problems keeping up the repayments on your property, you may be concerned about the threat of eviction or having your home repossessed. In these circumstances, it's natural to feel worried, but at QualitySolicitors, we have expert Property Solicitor on hand to help. We can answer all the questions you may have and will help you do everything possible to remain in your home. Possession and repossession proceedings involve legal mechanisms that address issues related to ownership, debt, and property agreements. It is important to establish a legal framework including terms and conditions for all parties involved for a smooth process.
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
Are you looking to transfer the ownership of a property from one person to another? Although this is a fairly straightforward process, it’s important that it is completed correctly to ensure everything progresses smoothly and to avoid unexpected problems in the future. Call us today on 08082747557.
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.
