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.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

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.

We dealt with Sarah Price regarding the sale of a commercial property. Sarah was excellent and we were delighted with every aspect of the service provided. Sarah is very approachable and efficient, and kept us well informed throughout the process. We had complete trust in Sarah from start to finish and would highly recommend her as she provided a first class professional service. Would have no hesitation in using Darwin Gray for any future commercial work.
