Services for Residential Landlords

As a landlord your property, whether commercial or residential, represents a significant capital asset and an important source of income revenue. However, the legal context in which the relationship of landlord and tenant exists can be a minefield for the unwary, comprising as it does a mixture of primary and secondary legislation as well as common law. We regularly come across simple but costly errors that have been made by landlords acting without specialist legal advice.

It pays to take expert advice at the right time and at Slee Blackwell we have the lawyers who can guide you safely through the legal minefield with your assets unscathed.

If you are a residential landlord, why not ask us to prepare your Tenancy Agreements and Notices and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your affairs are being handled by a specialist lawyer who is up to date with the very latest developments in Housing law. Alternatively, take advantage of our very popular range of fixed-fee services to enable you to obtain possession from your assured shorthold tenant.

We can also advise you in relation to any issues surrounding the tenancy status of any existing tenants that you may have. For example, you may have a Rent Act protected tenant and wish to know what the succession rights are in relation to that tenant. Alternatively, you may have an Assured Shorthold tenant on a pre-February 1997 tenancy agreement and need advice on whether or not the tenancy was correctly created. Most importantly you may wish to know what steps you need to take in order to increase rents. We can advise on all of these matters and any others that you may have.
