Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about property disputes, evictions, lease renewals or debt recovery? You’re not alone. Here are answers to the questions we’re most often asked.
A: We specialise in residential and commercial property litigation, landlord and tenant disputes, and debt recovery. Our services include evictions, leasehold extensions, service charge disputes, business lease renewals, contract disputes, and enforcement actions like bankruptcy or winding-up petitions.
A: Yes – we provide full legal support for tenant evictions under Section 8 and Section 21 of the Housing Act. Whether your tenant is behind on rent or you simply want your property back, we’ll guide you through the process from notice to possession.
A: No – while we support many landlords and letting agents, we also work with tenants, leaseholders, creditors, and commercial property owners. If you're involved in any type of property dispute or legal issue, we can help.
A: It’s strongly advised. Lease extension under the Leasehold Reform Act 1993 is a legal process that involves strict time limits and formal notices. We handle the entire process, including notice drafting, negotiations, and tribunal proceedings if needed.
A: Absolutely. We act for commercial landlords dealing with non-paying tenants, lease renewals, forfeiture, and contract breaches. We can serve notices, issue court proceedings, or recover arrears using statutory demands or enforcement.
A: We work with clients nationwide, but we’re particularly active in Hull, Leeds, Yorkshire, and North Lincolnshire. You can work with us remotely or arrange to meet depending on what’s most convenient for you.
A: Costs vary depending on the complexity of your case. We aim to be clear and transparent about pricing from the start. In many situations, we can offer fixed fees or structured billing so you know where you stand. Get in touch for a tailored quote.
A: You’ll work directly with Rachel Garton, a solicitor with over 17 years of experience in property litigation. Rachel is supported by a small, friendly team who are here to guide you through every stage of your case. You’ll always know who’s handling your matter and what’s happening next.
