A focused practice for private residential landlords across England and Wales. Compliance audits, possession strategy, deposit and prescribed information issues, and recovery of premises under Section 21 and Section 8. Every instruction begins with a scoped advice letter and a fixed fee.
Each instruction is scoped in writing and priced as a flat fixed fee before any work begins. The list below covers the work landlord clients instruct me on most often.
End to end check of your tenancy paperwork against current statutory requirements. EPC, Gas Safety, How to Rent, deposit protection and prescribed information all reviewed, with a written report identifying any gaps and how to fix them before they affect possession.
Drafting and review of Section 21 notices, including pre-notice compliance checks to make sure the notice is valid on the day of service. Common pitfalls reviewed up front so the notice is not wasted on a defective procedure. This work relates to Section 21 notices served before 1 May 2026 only.
Section 8 notices on rent arrears and other grounds, including a strategy note on which grounds to plead and how to evidence them. Realistic prospects of success addressed up front with a clear view of timescales.
Advice on deposit protection compliance, prescribed information issues, and the financial penalties that follow late or missed protection. Strategy on remediation where the deposit position is not perfect.
Pre-action correspondence with tenants on disrepair, rent arrears, breach of tenancy and recovery. Letters before action, scope of repair obligations, and strategy notes where matters look likely to escalate.
A 45 minute fixed fee consultation with a written summary, covering your tenancy paperwork, the legal position, realistic options and timeline. Helpful where a full instruction is not yet needed, or where you want a sense check before serving notice.
All references to Section 21 possessions on this page relate to notices served before 1 May 2026. For matters arising after that date, please book a discovery call to discuss the appropriate possession route under the current framework.
