Top 10 of 4,693 law firms for Becoming a Live in Landlord, Housing & Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers the situation where a homeowner lets out a room or a part of their home while they continue to live there, known in plain language as becoming a live-in landlord. It involves choosing between a lodger licence or an assured informal tenancy, and navigating the rights and duties that arise for both the occupier and the homeowner. It depends on the type of agreement and how it is drafted, documented and enforced. The process may be shaped by tenancy rules, eviction rights and safety obligations.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key decision is whether the occupier has a licence or a tenancy, which affects eviction rights and the level of protection. A solicitor can advise on drafting a clear licence or tenancy agreement, serving lawful notices, and handling issues such as rent payments, deposits, and potential disputes. They can also assist with safety standards, rights of access, and resolving conflicts without escalating to court proceedings when possible.

James Williams

Tagged solicitor James Williams

Poole Alcock have been great from start to finish, we have used them a couple of times previously and always use the same solicitors. They are very patient when the inevitable hick ups crop up, and make the process very simple. Always responding and keeping us well informed, it’s very reassuring from a consumers point of view. Special mention to Sophie, and James who we always choice to deal with.

Melissa Norman

Tagged solicitor Melissa Norman

Melissa Claire and Abbie have delivered my mum’s move brilliantly. Melissa inspired confidence and was efficient, knowledgeable and charming and pushed the exchange through on quite a tight schedule. It could have been very stressful - moving my mum from one side of the country to another - but really hasn’t been. Many thanks indeed!

Delicia Campbell

Tagged solicitor Delicia Campbell

I was recommended Delicia by a friend and was not disappointed. She and her firm were responsive and proactive - I never had to chase them for anything. Although the purchase process had some hiccoughs, I was reassured by their attention to detail and would thoroughly recommend her to anyone else. Possibly not the cheapest out there, but you get what you pay for and I wouldn't want to save on this sort of thing if it meant poorer service. I've heard stories from friends of mistakes in the documents their solicitors provided them, but I had no such experience with Paris Smith, everything was great.

Bakshi Dhanda

Tagged solicitor Bakshi Dhanda

I cannot thank Bakshi and her team enough for their solid expertise, help and support to drive through a successful completion for my very recent house purchase! Excellent and prompt communications, clear and responsive explanations and generally an incredible service from beginning to end. I first used Bakshi a couple of years ago to sell my house which was super smooth and whilst this house purchase had a few obstacles, I felt in a highly expert and capable pair of hands. I will continue to keep recommending Gepp as the best solicitors to deal with! Huge thanks yet again Brilliant Bakshi!!

Conor GreenanGillian BrownMandy TerrasStacey Hamilton

Tagged solicitors Conor Greenan, Gillian Brown, Mandy Terras and Stacey Hamilton

We recently worked with Conor Greenan for our house purchase and we couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. Communication was clear and prompt throughout the whole process, and we always felt informed about what was happening and what the next steps were. Any questions we had were explained in a way that was easy to understand, which really helped reduce the stress of buying a property. The whole transaction was completed smoothly and on time, and we felt fully supported during every stage of the purchase. We would absolutely recommend Conor Greenan to anyone buying a home and would happily use them again in the future. Also, special thanks to Gillian Brown, Mandy Terrace and Stace Hamilton for helping and making the purchase smooth.

Ella Parsons

Tagged solicitor Ella Parsons

It was a great pleasure using Ella for the sale of my property and purchase of my new property. Her communication was excellent , I’d quite often sit down on an evening doing the required paper work and asking questions (expecting a reply the next day) but would often get a reply promptly. She has amazing knowledge in all aspects of conveyancing and was able to advise with any questions that I had. I felt very confident using Ella through the whole process, I would highly recommend Ella to anyone who’s looking to buy or sell a property. Everything went very smoothly, Ella made the whole process seem very simple due to her experience and ability to deal with any problems immediately without the need for complications . Thank you for all your work

Craig Tanner

Tagged solicitor Craig Tanner

Elite Law were very efficient in the conveyancing of this flat purchase, pity the same could not be said of the seller's solicitors! However, we got there in the end and Elite kept us well informed and were willing to discuss matters by phone when needed. Would recommend them without hesitation.

Hayley Hart

Tagged solicitor Hayley Hart

My mum used Rotheras (Hayley Hart and Sophie Lyndon) for the sale of her house. Really appreciate all the time and work that was put into getting everything done so quickly! Especially Hayley on the day of completion. It’s such a nerve-wracking day but she got it done really early and I think as a direct result of that, meant the rest of the chain happened really quickly and smoothly, so can’t thank her enough for that.

Kathryn Lofthouse

Tagged solicitor Kathryn Lofthouse

Kathryn always kept us up to speed throughout the entire process, got back to emails promptly and was lovely to speak to on the phone. The main point to make in this review however, is that she worked tirelessly to get us over a chain imposed deadline at short notice. Thank you and Michelle for all your hard work. Rebecca and Jim
