Housing
This is another specialist area of the law.

Some firms will for their own reasons act either for landlords or tenants but not both. Solicitors and staff at Vickers & Co. hold a wide variety of political opinions and we are happy to act for either tenants or landlords to the best of our ability.

Landlords:

Typical work includes:
  • Preparing tenancy agreements
  • Serving notices to end tenancies
  • Advising on obligations imposed by (i) the tenancy agreement and (ii) Acts of Parliament (e.g. repairing covenants).
Courts work includes:
  • Possession proceedings (including the accelerated procedure for assured shorthold tenancies).
  • Money judgments (e.g. rent arrears)
  • Defending disrepair and harassment claims.
Tenants:

You may be entitled to free or subsidised legal advice. We can:
  • Fight possession proceedings
  • Apply to Court for repairs to be carried out.
  • Claim compensation if your home is in disrepair.
  • Help you with transfers and rehousing.
  • Make complaints to the relevant Ombudsman on your behalf
  • Assist with transferring a tenancy on a relatives death.
