Landlord Law - Property Services:


General property matters


Whatever your property matter we are here to help. Our friendly and approachable team is ready to answer any questions you may have, for example queries about boundary issues, adverse possession claims, title defects, or just general property advice. Call us today on freephone: 0808 129 3320.


We may be able to answer straightforward queries free of charge, and for anything more complex we will provide you with a competitive fee quote reflecting the work we will do on your behalf.


Buying properties at auction


We offer a special service to landlords who are considering buying a property at auction. Auctioneers will provide a legal pack to potential buyers prior to the auction. We advise anyone who is considering buying a property at auction to get the legal pack checked over by a solicitor as, once the hammer goes down, you are obliged to buy the property.


If you fail to get proper legal advice on the pack you could end up with a property that will not sell, cannot be mortgaged or has other issues which seriously affect its value.


We offer a fixed-fee service to review the legal pack at just £100 + VAT. When we have reviewed the pack we can advise you of its contents in a convenient phone call.


If you do use our fixed-fee auction service and then go on to instruct us to complete your conveyancing, we will deduct £100 from the conveyancing quote on the purchase of the property.


Residential conveyancing


We offer a full residential conveyancing service to landlords to make the whole process as smooth, quick and simple as possible. Our conveyancing quotes are competitive and we deliver a truly first rate service.


Get an instant conveyancing quote here or phone our freephone conveyancing hotline: 0800 634 1628.


Rent arrears


If you need prompt recovery of rent arrears our Debt Recovery team is on hand to help you out. We can pursue unpaid rent and rent arrears and provide tracing services to locate tenants who have absconded.


We act on behalf of letting and management agents as well as private landlords and we can act throughout the UK. In most cases we can act on a fixed- fee basis.


Tenants – legal rights and eviction


However unfair it can sometimes seem, you should be aware that your tenants have important legal rights which prevent them from being evicted and you must legally obtain a court order before you can enforce any right to possession or re-entry to your property.


Our team can help guide you through the sometimes complex legal process for possession of your property enabling you to rest assured that your rights as a landlord are being handled appropriately.


Financial advice


Over the last 12 months, it has become more difficult to obtain buy-to-let mortgages on investment properties or re-mortgage existing finance. Lenders have been stricter on valuations, rental yields and loan-to-value ratios. As independent financial advisers we research the marketplace to obtain the best solution for your requirements.


We also offer independent financial advice on life assurance, critical illness cover and income protection. It is an important consideration to insure against mortgage liabilities on property investments. This is to ensure that you, your family and/or business partners will be financially secure in the event of your death or a long-term illness. We have an independent sourcing system to enable us to select the most competitive rates as well as the most suitable products.
