Top 10 of 3,582 law firms for Forfeiture of Lease, Commercial Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Tagged solicitor Melody Wan

Melody has been absolutely amazing. She picked our case in the absence of our initial solicitor, and she had a very short deadline as we had to complete the purchase before a specific date. Melody was very supportive, and she did everything in a timely and efficient manner to achieve our deadline. We highly recommend Melody.

We were particularly impressed with Georgia’s dedication during this recent property sale. Taking the time to liaise with us after hours on a Friday night made a real difference in keeping the transaction on track. Her communication was clear, proactive, and highly professional throughout. It’s always a pleasure working with someone so committed, and we would highly recommend her services.

Alex Kilby

Tagged solicitor Alex Kilby

I recently purchased two flats within the same block, along with the freehold and lease extensions, and Alex was exceptional throughout the entire process. He was helpful, responsive, and incredibly informative, providing clear guidance at every stage. His advice was always professional and easy to understand, which made what could have been a complex transaction feel smooth and well-managed. Alex’s communication was excellent, and he was always quick to respond to any questions I had. His knowledge and support were invaluable, and I genuinely felt that he had my best interests in mind from start to finish. I’m extremely grateful for all of his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the area. Thank you again, Alex!

Stephanie Iddon

Tagged solicitor Stephanie Iddon

I have only wonderful things to say about Stephanie. I do not think I could have had a better conveyancer than her. Ever since the first email on getting started up until exchange, the communication, attention to details and overall care was second to none. As an anxious first time buyer, i knew what was happening at all times, emails were replied to within hours, if not minutes! Stephanie was patient, professional and made my experience as smooth as it could have been. When i was recommended this firm, i did not know what to expect, but Steph delivered a 5 star experience, ease of mind, friendly yet professional attitude, and was absolutely fantastic. I could tell Steph cares about her job, and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone.
