Residential landlords
In developing our reputation within the field of residential law, we’ve worked with residential landlords, property companies, managing agents, surveyors, housing associations and individual landlords all across the UK.
An example of our expertise in this area is illustrated by the fact that one of our colleagues is a nationally recognised expert who has advised a major political party on amendments to housing legislation. As a practice, Bury & Walkers is also a member of the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners (ALEP).
We have experience of dealing with a number of tenancy deposit disputes on behalf of landlords relating to proceedings for a penalty of three times the deposit, and acted on the leading case on this matter (Harvey v Bamford). We also have a case pending at the Court of Appeal to determine the issues on behalf of a landlord.
Our areas of expertise include:
- Residential tenancies (for individual landlords, managing agents or Landlord associations)
- Rent reviews
- Rent Act protected tenancies
- Fire safety legislation
- Licensing of houses in multiple occupation and proceedings relating to these, and selective licensing
- Possession proceedings
- Debt collection
- Statutory notices
- Tenancy deposit scheme advice and penalty proceedings
- Managing agent agreements
