Residential Lettings

Letting Property

Since 1997 lettings to new tenants will generally be Assured Shorthold Tenancies. There is now no minimum period of letting (it used to be six months) but the court will not make an order for possession within six months from the start of the tenancy, unless you can show breaches of the tenancy agreement, such as non-payment of rent.

We can advise you on the most appropriate tenancy agreement for your circumstances and prepare the documentation but you may need a letting agent to advise you on the market rent. A number of agents also offer a management service to collect rents, arrange for maintenance and repairs and deal with tenants' complaints.

Problem Tenants

If you have a problem with your tenant our property litigation team can advise you on the options and procedures available to you; these may range from a firm letter to the tenant, recovery of rent arrears or notice to quit and ultimately proceedings for recovery of possession. We can also tell you what action the law says you may NOT take against a problem tenant.
