Landlord and Tenant
There are many issues concerning the relationship between landlord and tenant. Arscotts can advise you with these and more issues.
At Arscotts, we know that we want our home to be our castle, but it is not always like that. If you have bought a leasehold flat, you may have been told that you need to extend your lease, or you your freeholder may not be managing the property. You may want to rent out your property but do not know how to go about it. You may be a tenant who is worried about how to get back your deposit.
We are able to provide legal advice on all types of housing problem, including:
Problems with tenants
We can help to landlords who are having difficulty in getting rent paid, or problems with anti-social tenants. We can also draw up tenancy agreements to try to prevent problems and advise on the rules about houses in multiple occupation and other legal obligations (including fire safety checks.
Problems with landlords
We can assist tenants whose accommodation is in disrepair, or who are suffering harassment from their landlord or other anti-social tenants. We can also assist in recovering compensation where the landlord has not protected the deposit.
Long leasehold and enfranchisement
Our conveyancing department is able to provide a speedy service in dealing with the transfer or creation of leaseholds. We can also advise on how leaseholders can acquire the freehold to their property and help them through the steps involved. If there are problems with payment of service charges - or in landlords carrying out maintenance - we have expertise to help.
We have many years experience in dealing with all areas of law affecting landlords and tenants and can provide expert advice and assistance. In some cases, we can provide an initial free consultation. You may also be covered on your insurance policy.
