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.

Mason Hallam

Tagged solicitor Mason Hallam

Mason did an excellent job preparing the legal documents for a Section 21 claim that turned into a long, drawn-out process due to the tenant. Throughout, he remained thorough, organised, and proactive, ensuring every document was accurate and submitted on time. His attention to detail and clear understanding of the legal requirements made a stressful situation much easier to manage. His communication was clear at every stage, and he was always quick to respond to queries. Mason also attended court with me, and having him there alongside the barrister was extremely beneficial in helping me understand what was happening on the day and what the next steps would be. Overall, Mason’s professionalism and commitment were outstanding, and his work significantly contributed to the successful outcome of this case. I would highly recommend his support to anyone dealing with a similar matter.

Arran D'Cruz

Tagged solicitor Arran D'Cruz

Excellent service. I cannot praise Arran enough for getting us across that finish line. They say house buying is one of the most stressful things to do in life and it certainly was in our situation. Arran was always calm, direct and clear in what was happening. He was very thorough and exactly what we needed to rely on. We exchanged on the 17/12 and completed on the 19/12, just days before Christmas, an intense time, but Arran and Lorraine got the job done and we would like to thank them and their team for all their hard work.

Stephanie Iddon

Tagged solicitor Stephanie Iddon

Stephanie was such a blessing to me in what could have been a very confusing process of buying my first home! She was always so professional, clear and when we did speak on the phone, she radiated kindness and warmth. I’m extremely happy and I wish Stephanie all the best of success in the future! She is amazing!

Rachel Hailstone

Tagged solicitor Rachel Hailstone

Spent the last 10 months working through a complex exchange which involved multiple layers, including a dreaded DOV in relation to estate rent charges. Rachel and Jasmine, first and foremost responded to all my questions and requests for updates in a timely manner. You cannot underestimate the importance of this when going through a housing transaction. They guided me through every stage and Jasmine was always ahead of the game in relation to the other solicitors we were dealing with. I was consistently kept in the loop with all the communications they were having with other parties. They managed expectations and acted with integrity throughout. I would highly recommend.

Beverly DavisonMark Feely

Tagged solicitors Beverly Davison and Mark Feely

Beverly Davinson dealt with the sale of my property and Mark Feely dealt with the harrowing journey of my property purchase with Colin Rogers covering when Mark was unavailable. The team have been amazing from start to finish. My purchase turned into a nightmare situation but not by the David Barney team. Mark Feely kept me updated throughout the process even when there was no positive updates to give as did Colin in Marks’ absence. For such an emotional journey I was treated with compassion and understanding from Mark and Colin who clearly understood the emotional journey along side the physical bricks, mortar and financial side of things. They were professional yet didn’t make me feel like a file of paperwork sitting on their desk which can really make it all feel less daunting. And for such a life changing situation, a little compassion and understanding can go a long way for such a scary and at times lonely situation. Thank you to the team for everything. I am now in my new home which at times felt like it wouldn’t happen but Mark supported me throughout and I can hand on heart recommend using Mark Feely for a property purchase. These guys are working hard long hours behind the scenes even when it feels like nothing is happening.
