Landlord and tenant dispute barrister
Looking for a landlord and tenant dispute barrister? We provide access to independent barristers experienced in residential disputes for landlords and tenants in England and Wales, where direct instruction is suitable.
Focused case assessment
Get help with the issue behind the dispute.
A disagreement may concern what the tenancy or lease requires, what has happened in practice, and what outcome is being requested. The relevant documents and the stage of the case shape the work counsel can take on.
Repairs, access and conduct
A review of the facts and documents where repair duties, access to a home or conduct between the parties is disputed.
Rent or other housing disputes
A focused assessment of the issue, the available evidence and any court or tribunal timetable.
Advice, drafting and advocacy
A defined next step for either side.
A barrister may be able to advise on the dispute, help prepare written material or represent a party at a hearing. What can be accepted depends on the barrister, the documents, deadlines and whether the work fits Public Access.
Possession proceedings have their own focused page. A solicitor may still be needed to conduct litigation, manage ongoing correspondence or take other procedural steps.
Need advice before a housing hearing?
Tell us whether you are the landlord or tenant, the type of agreement, the key issue and any hearing date. Do not send original documents with your first enquiry.
This page is general information, not legal advice. No barrister is instructed until written terms are accepted. Public Access is not suitable for every case; a solicitor may be needed for litigation conduct or ongoing case management.
