Forfeiture of a lease covers what happens when a tenant breaches a lease covenant or falls into rent arrears, allowing a landlord to end the tenancy or recover possession in England. A solicitor will outline the available routes, including pursuing relief from forfeiture or enforcing re-entry, and will advise on the timing and steps required to protect the landlord’s or tenant’s position. Real-world effects include potential possession orders, rent recovery, and decisions on whether alternative remedies should be pursued. The work reflects the balance between contractual covenants and statutory safeguards in English property law.
Forfeiture involves navigating breaches, possessor rights, and the possibility of relief from forfeiture under the Law of Property Act 1927. A solicitor handles drafting and serving notices, lodging proceedings in the county court, and coordinating with the landlord or tenant to secure a possession order, a relief application, or a negotiated settlement. The process often hinges on timely discovery of breaches, proof of arrears, and court discretion on relief and costs.

Tagged solicitor Nicola Cawthorne
This was a complex move with many hold ups on the part of the buyer and their solicitors but Nicola and her colleague Bridgette were helpful throughout - always responding promptly and efficiently. Nicola was proactive in chasing the buyers solicitor when necessary and I trusted her to act in my best interest at all times.
