Housing

Helping you protect your property and home

Disputes involving residential property may affect your happiness and well-being if you are a tenant, or your investment if you are a landlord. This is why having a robust tenancy agreement in place backed up by expert legal advice is so important.

Stone King’s specialist housing team has successfully represented both landlords and tenants in this complex area of law. This means we have great experience of seeing both sides of the legal and practical issues involved.

If you are a private or commercial landlord we can help you draw up a legal tenancy agreement that meets your specific needs. As well as informing you of your rights and obligations, we can also advise you on what to do if your tenant falls behind with rent or breaks the terms of the tenancy agreement. And if it becomes necessary we can help you secure the repossession of your property while avoiding the pitfalls of delays in getting it wrong, or illegal eviction.  

Our friendly and knowledgeable solicitors acts on behalf of a wide a range of private and commercial landlords including schools, charities, housing associations and individuals.

If you are a tenant we can advise you on what to do if your landlord breaks his obligations under the tenancy agreement, whether it’s an assured, assured shorthold or other type of tenancy. We can also help you challenge claims made by your landlord. We represent tenants on a wide range of issues, from fighting repossession and disrepair claims to unlawful eviction and advice on rights of occupation.  

Our approachable and experienced solicitors advise tenants from a wide variety of backgrounds, providing pragmatic and sympathetic advice. Much of our work for tenants is funded by the Legal Aid scheme.   We also represent people living on narrow boats threatened with or facing seizure by British Waterways.

At Stone King we take a constructive, resolution-based approach to resolving landlord and tenant disputes through negotiation where possible.

Whatever the problems you face as a landlord or tenant, our housing litigation team will work tirelessly to protect your interests in law and ensure a swift and successful outcome.
