Areas of practice
We have traditionally been known for our expertise in the law of landlord and tenant. All members of chambers are expert in this area, including problems concerning:
• commercial property
• rent review and arbitration
• residential
landlord and tenant
• leasehold enfranchisement
• agricultural holdings
and tenancies and agricultural production controls
However, over the years, we have also come to be recognised as experts in the more general areas of property and real estate law, including:
• easements and highways
• restrictive covenants
• boundary disputes
• mortgages
• commonhold
• trusts, proprietary estoppel and rights
of co-habitees
• conveyancing
• registered land
• overage and
planning agreements
• options and rights of pre-emption
•
property-related insolvency law
• professional negligence, particularly of
solicitors and surveyors
• human rights implications of property law
In addition some members of chambers are also experts in the fields of
• town and country planning
• compulsory purchase
• building and
engineering disputes
• competition and European law
• property taxation,
in particular stamp duty land tax
• mines and minerals
• commons, village greens and manorial rights
•
off-shore and riparian issues
• sporting rights
• partnership
•
rating
• the Electronic Communications Code and other statutory codes
Many of the leading legal textbooks and practitioner guides on these subjects
are written or edited by members of Chambers. Click on Library for details.
Our work in the commercial property sphere means that we have a
considerable expertise in arbitration law and practice, and with problems
involving valuers and the principles of valuation. Indeed our work in the fields
of commercial rent review and leasehold enfranchisement (which concerns the
valuation of high value residential properties) means that members of chambers
are well placed and often asked to act in other disputes where valuation is in
issue. Such work includes assessments of damages for loss of or harm to a
business, surveyors' negligence, dissolution of partnerships, rating, compulsory
purchase and the valuation of a business or property purchased pursuant to an
option.
