Based in Hull and Leeds, and working with clients across Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and the UK, we’re trusted by businesses big and small to deliver results when it matters most.
Business Lease Renewals (Landlord & Tenant Act 1954)
Is your commercial lease coming to an end? We advise both landlords and tenants on lease renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, including serving Section 25 or Section 26 notices, managing negotiations, and issuing court proceedings if needed. Whether the renewal is opposed or unopposed, we’ll ensure you follow the correct process and protect your position.
Commercial Rent Recovery
Chasing unpaid rent? We help you recover commercial rent arrears using a range of legal options, including:
Letters before action
Court proceedings
Statutory demands
Winding-up petitions
Warrants of execution
Attachment of earnings orders
We’ll work with you to choose the most effective route and act fast to recover what you’re owed.
Commercial Evictions
If your tenant is in breach of their lease – for example, due to non-payment or misuse of the premises – we can serve a Section 146 notice and start forfeiture proceedings. We’ll guide you through each step of the eviction process and ensure your actions are legally enforceable.
Contract & Property Disputes
From breach of contract claims to disputes over terms, repairs or responsibility, we help resolve a wide range of commercial property disagreements. Whether you're the landlord or the tenant, we’ll protect your interests and help avoid lengthy disruption to your business.
Debt Recovery & Bankruptcy Proceedings
Unpaid invoices or persistent debtors? We offer full support with debt claims, statutory demands, bankruptcy petitions, and winding-up proceedings. We also deal with enforcement after judgment, including warrants, charging orders, and more. Get back in control of your cash flow with legal action that works.
Notices to Quit & Lease Expiry
We advise landlords on serving Section 27 notices, notices to quit, and issuing possession proceedings when a commercial lease ends or is terminated. If you're unsure how to lawfully take back possession of a property, we’ll help you avoid costly errors.
