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.

I would like to praise Aisling Dwyer in property. Aisling was polite and and very understanding in the sale of my property which at times was very difficult and frustrating for both of us. Aisling also handled my purchase.

Tracey Parsons We chose Tracey to be our solicitor after she was highly recommended to us. We had offered on a house extremely close to the stamp duty holiday cut off. There was only 8 working days left until the stamp duty holiday ended. We asked if she would be able to complete our house buying transaction in 8 working days as the saving would make a huge difference to us and enable us to complete work in our new house that we needed to do. This did not phase Tracey and she said that she thought that she would be to do this. Tracey was extremely hardworking, efficient, highly competent and thorough with a lovely manner. Her communication was outstanding at all times throughout the whole process and she kept us updated at all times with anything going on and she gave us extremely quick replies to any emails that I sent. She was friendly, clear, dedicated and we thought the job she provided for us was to a very high standard. To be able to complete our purchase to such a high standard in such a short time frame was outstanding. In the end it was completed in 7 working days. What an achievement! She is a complete asset to Aldridge and Brownlee. We would highly recommend her to absolutely everyone. You will not find a better solicitor. We are so happy that she undertook the challenge and now we have our dream family home thanks to her sheer hard work and determination. Emma and Leon Spurway

I found Gardner Leader to be the best solicitor's I have ever used for conveyancing. Their communication was great, and their actions were timely. The costs were slightly more expensive than others but worth paying for the superior quality of service.

Graeme dealt with the sale of my late mother's house in Cornwall. Under difficult circumstances of COVID, the service was excellent. He was always responsive to any questions/enquiries and even when he was away from the office he made sure there was continuity, resulting in a prompt sale completion. Thank you

Henna Lynch based at the Feltham branch of OWC gave me confidence and trust a few years ago when I was selling a property. I returned to Henna again to advise and guide me with the sale of a property. Always efficient,speedy and to the point in what needed to be done. I will always recommend Henna to friends needing a brilliant solicitor. Thank you Henna for all your hard work and support. March 2025

Becky UndrillSusan CheesewrightAndrew Mcclintock

Tagged solicitors Becky Undrill, Susan Cheesewright and Andrew Mcclintock

We used Susan Cheesewright and her team for the sale of my mothers house. We obtained a number of quotes and looked at online reviews. The reviews for Paul Robinson Solicitors were very good and their quoted price was also very good (the various quotes we received from solicitors varied a lot, which surprised us) The whole process ran smoothly, but what was outstanding was the level of communication from Susan and her team. If I telephones someone was always available and replies to all my emails were quick. I was kept informed of the status of the sale at all times. Many thanks.
