I often attend court for landlord & tenant cases, both residential and commercial. This includes multi-track possession hearings, anti-social behaviour injunctions and advising commercial tenants who seek relief from forfeiture.
My approach
I will always strive to achieve your objectives while providing clear and frank advice. I am responsive and usually complete work within 48-hours.
My work
My landlord & tenant work encompasses disrepair claims and Equality Act claims, representing landlords, tenants, local authorities and management directors. I successfully appealed in a case where a judge erred in law about whether a party was entitled to remain in the property.
In my property work, I have assisted with a dispute where the defendant was permitted to override an easement when using parking spaces for building works. I have acted for property owners as well as squatters in adverse possession claims, and my research was published in the City Law Journal. I have also advised on applications to the Property Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal and represented clients in relation to applications to vary leases and challenge service charges.
I accept instructions in planning inquiries, drawing on my experience from working in economic consulting. I am particularly interested in litigation relating to infrastructure projects and housing developments. I have been instructed in numerous matters where tenants have not complied with the local planning and building regulations, as well as environmental protection orders. I have obtained strike out and summary judgment in cases where the Claimant has not met the evidential burden to demonstrate a real prospect of success.
About me
I am regularly instructed in commercial, property and divorce cases. My work includes breaches of contract, landlord & tenant litigation, and complex disputes over real estate. I frequently appear in the County Court as well as the Senior Courts and have won multiple appeals. Outside of practice, I lecture on cruises about history.
What my clients say
“I have had the pleasure of working with Alexander on 3 recent cases. I have found him to be thorough in his case preparation, able to effectively research difficult areas of law and approachable but firm when advising clients.”
“I have not only found Mr Bunzl to be professional, extremely knowledgeable and patient but I have also found him to be a very pleasant person to whom I will have no qualms with instructing in the future.”
“Mr Bunzl’s approach is very client focused, and this has resulted in excellent outcomes and satisfied clients. He takes the time to understand the instructions and goes above and beyond to ensure we are kept updated throughout the case.”
