Setting up a tenancy in England covers creating a legally binding domestic rental arrangement between a landlord and a tenant, including the form of tenancy, the rent, and the rights and responsibilities of both sides. A solicitor drafts or reviews the tenancy agreement, checks references, arranges tenancy deposits with a registered scheme, and ensures notices, inventories and inspections are properly handled. They also guide compliance with right-to-rent checks and the transfer or renewal of the tenancy as needed.

Rachel Hailstone
Director & Solicitor



Works with Amy Fields and 4 more
“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.”
