This work covers the interpretation and enforcement of leasehold covenants in English private housing. It involves reading lease terms to determine obligations and rights, and resolving breaches through notices, warnings, or proceedings. A solicitor drafts or reviews covenant wording, advises on breaches, and pursues remedies such as damages, injunctions, or forfeiture where appropriate, while coordinating with freeholders, management companies, and mortgage lenders to protect the client’s leasehold position.
Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor
Breach of covenants can lead to penalties, service of notices, and possible enforcement actions. A solicitor provides regulated guidance, handles notices and applications, and coordinates with relevant parties to protect the leaseholder’s interests. They also ensure compliance with professional standards, client accounts, and regulatory obligations throughout the process.
