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 solicitors Kiri Kkoshi and Saira Ahmed

I had the pleasure of working with Saira Ahmed as my conveyancing solicitor, and I cannot praise her enough for the exceptional service she provided. Saira's swift response and proactive approach throughout the entire process allowed me to make informed decisions promptly, ensuring that I could act in a timely manner. Her dedication and efficiency brought a great deal of assurance and comfort during what could have been a stressful journey, especially given any possible delays from officials and missteps by the seller's solicitor. Without Saira's perseverance and attention to detail, the deal would not have been completed properly. I also want to thank Kiri for taking my case at the very time of my need and Ferris for the swift acknowledgment of the client's financial statement, which, in addition, provided a comprehensive and valuable experience throughout the conveyancing journey.

Rachel is head & shoulders above any other I have dealt with . she is extremely efficient, deals with phone calls & emails promptly is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. In the 5yrs that I have used her expertise she has gone over & above what is expected of a solicitor & I consider her to be a vital asset to my business and simply wouldn’t use anyone else.
