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.

Appreciated for example highlighting access issue and excellent explanation of implications and possible mitigation and associated costs.

Neil Raiseborough

Tagged solicitor Neil Raiseborough

I have received advice from Alsters Kelley over a range of areas from writing my own Will, releasing money held by a French bank to tenancy issues on a let property in London. In all I have found them to be approachable, swift to respond and supportive. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

We had an excellent experience with NPS Law throughout our mortgage and property purchase. From start to finish, the entire process was handled professionally, and they kept us informed every step of the way. Their communication was excellent, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. A special thank you to Junaid and Hamaz for their exceptional support. They were both kind, professional, responsive, and always willing to answer our questions. Their dedication and attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout the process. We are extremely happy with the service we received and would highly recommend NPS Law to anyone looking for reliable and professional solicitors. Thank you for making our home-buying journey such a positive experience!

We've recently used Kirsty Trevis from Maitland Walker Solicitors, Minehead for our latest move and have nothing but positive comments to report. Even though I've known Kirsty for many years, she remained professional through the whole process, always prompt to answer my many questions. She was caring, thoughtful and nothing was too much trouble! Thank you so much for seeing us through our move and thank you to the team at Maitland Walker for being so helpful too.
