Landlord and tenant disputes

Conflicts between landlords and tenants can arise during or after a tenancy, and range from disputes over agricultural tenancy agreements and rent reviews to sensitive issues involving the transfer of tenancy rights across family generations. These disputes can quickly become stressful, costly, and legally complex. Clear, specialist advice is often required to ensure an effective, agreeable solution for all parties.

Services for landlord and tenant disputes

Our team of specialist consultants understands the unique challenges affecting the agricultural sector, and we always aim to minimise disruption and preserve goodwill between landlord and tenant wherever possible.

We always aim to resolve matters discreetly and efficiently through alternative dispute resolution, such as negotiation and mediation. However, if a mutual agreement cannot be reached, we can support you through the litigation process by providing RICS Red Book valuations, schedules of dilapidations, or expert witness testimony in court, if required.

We offer clear, practical guidance on a wide range of topics, including succession issues, boundary and access disputes, dilapidation claims, rent arrears, shooting and sporting rights, and environmental and stewardship obligations.

Whether you are an estate owner looking to regain possession, a tenant facing a rent review, or a landowner dealing with a dispute over maintenance obligations, we deliver clear, practical advice tailored to your needs.
