Occupancy rights cover who may live in a home and under what terms a person can stay there. In England this usually links to tenancy or occupancy agreements, including secure, assured or contractual tenancies, and licences to reside. A solicitor in this area drafts and reviews tenancy or occupancy agreements, serves notices, advises on eviction and possession procedures, and represents clients in county court proceedings or related regulator-led processes when rights to occupy are challenged or terminated. The work is shaped by housing law, court procedure and the limits of a landlord’s remedies.

“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.”

“I just wanted to express on my behalf of my self and the Payne family how wonderful it was to have your company be our conveyancers for the sale of 15 holtom street. We particularly enjoyed working with you both and wanted to commend Izzy. From the start Izzy has been a joy to work with. Izzy is professional, efficient and knowledgeable and helped us through this process with ease. I understand she is a trainee and working with her didn't feel like this. We wish her all the best for the future and hope this helps her with her career progression. We will recommend yourselves to anyone we hear looking for a conveyancer in the future. ”

“Not a smooth process as potential purchasers changed the payment process (added in a second person offering funding) not far off completion date and then requested an earlier completion date which was inconvenient for us.”

“I used Devonalds Pontypridd to buy my first home - Alex and his team were wonderful. They used an app to share documents and communicate which meant it was incredibly easy to keep track of everything and response time was often within minutes. Everything was outlined clearly and I never felt like I was bothering them asking additional questions along the way. There were a couple of bumps along the way that needed sorting - Alex handled this all so the sale was very much stress free! I've already recommended Alex to a friend who's currently using him for the purchase of her first home too. ”

“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.”
