Property ยท landlord & tenant
Landlord and tenant barristers, instructed directly.
For landlords and tenants alike, a barrister can advise on possession, deposits, disrepair and tenancy terms, and represent you in court.
At a glance
Possession
Section 8 and section 21 notices and possession claims.
Disrepair and deposits
Claims over the condition of a property and deposit protection.
Both sides
Barristers act for landlords and for tenants.
Landlord and tenant disputes cover possession and eviction, rent arrears, deposit and disrepair claims, and the terms of residential and commercial tenancies. A barrister can advise either side on their rights and the correct procedure, which matters because possession claims fail if notices and paperwork are wrong.
A barrister will check whether the right notice has been served, assess the prospects, and represent you at the County Court. Through Direct Access you can instruct a barrister directly, without going through a solicitor first.
Barristers are regulated by the Bar Standards Board.

Frequently asked questions
Can a barrister handle a possession claim without a solicitor?
Yes. Through Direct Access a landlord and tenant barrister can advise you and represent you at the County Court, without going through a solicitor first.
Why do possession claims get thrown out?
Often because a notice was defective or deposit rules were not followed. A barrister can check this before you start, and may save a wasted claim.
What does it cost?
Many barristers offer a fixed fee for advice or a possession hearing. There is no charge to enquire.
