INTRODUCTION
These types of dispute can be complicated, and be damaging for those involved. A poorly handled dispute can result in people losing months and months of rental income or losing their home. We aim to help by offering sound legal advice at the very beginning.

Our lead property solicitors are Peter Skinner and Joseph Mulrooney, ably assisted by Legal Assistant Josh White and Suzanne Blessington. 
ACTING FOR LANDLORD
We will give you cost-effective advice setting out the options available to you. Without our help would you know what steps to take if your tenant fails to pay rent, refuses to vacate the property, or fails to comply with their tenancy agreement? Do you know whether you are required to have in place a licence with your local authority? Have you placed the deposit with a Tenancy Deposit Scheme provider? Is your property in a condition fit for the wellbeing of the tenants?
 
These are all basic questions to which all landlords should give serious thought. Not all disputes need to go to court, and we will provide you with all of the options available to you.

 

Our Services


New landlord starter pack - we provide our landlord client with a suite of documents and information to make sure that they are able to have everything in place to start a tenancy off correctly. Making a mistake at the beginning of a tenancy can make it much more difficult to remove a tenant later on if you need to.


£500 + VAT

s.8 or s.21 possession proceedings - for a fixed fee we will review your tenancy documents, draft and serve the notice on the tenant, then issue proceedings and attend the possession hearing. (Additional fees might apply if the court hearing is defended in full).

£750 + VAT + £355 court fee

Contested possession hearings - for a fixed fee we will attend a contested possession hearing on your behalf.

£750 + VAT
ACTING FOR TENANT
We can provide you with sound legal advice of the options open to you if your landlord hasn’t complied with its obligations, or if you need to challenge an eviction notice brought against you.

 

Section 8 Notices and Section 21 Notices 

How would you respond to a s.8 or s.21 notice? We can talk you through what each notice means and how you are required to respond. We will advise you on the potential for successfully challenging such a notice, and of any other options open to you.
 

Housing Disrepair

Is your rental home in poor condition? We will be able to advise on whether we feel there is an actionable case against your landlord as a result.

 

Tenancy Deposit Disputes

Has your landlord placed your deposit in a tenancy deposit scheme? If they haven't followed the correct steps, what are your righls?

ACSL Solicitors will use our expertise to help you to recover as muchas 3x the deposit amount. If you don't know whether your deposit was protected we can find out for you by using the information contained within your tenancy agreement.

We offer this service on a 'no win no fee' basis to clients across England and Wales.
