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 Adam Smith

Adam Smith and his team handled our house move with professionalism, giving us advice where necessary and prompt replies to our correspondence. On moving day the transaction was done speedily and banking timeously. We were kept well informed and we have no hesitation in recommending their services. …………………….. N.B.In the description boxes below I haven’t selected the services not required or which we could not compare. With regard to costs we have no knowledge of what other solicitors charge but we were happy to pay the amount charged and this had been clearly quoted to us when we initially approached them. As stated before…..very happy!

Jessica has been empathetic, professional and fastidious throughout the whole process. We never had one concern that everything would be handled quickly and professionally, and it was. Despite our purchasers having unprofessional solicitors, Jessica was calm and always kept us updated. Jessica has been nothing short of amazing. We would not hesitate to recommend her. Thank you
