This area covers when a private tenant or homeowner in a rented property seeks payment or credit from a landlord for improvements or alterations they have carried out. It includes negotiating over who bears responsibility for the value of fixtures, fittings and structural changes, and pursuing compensation where improvements have not been compensated on tenancy end or when a landlord disputes entitlement.
Where a solicitor protects your position
A solicitor helps gather receipts and valuations for improvements, prepares or challenges claims, negotiates with the landlord or their agent, and, if needed, applies to the county court for an order or damages. They may refer to tenancy covenants, notices, and any relevant housing or landlord-tenant schemes to protect the client’s position.
