We have an experienced and multifaceted team of lawyers who advise in respect of a broad spectrum of contentious and non-contentious housing management issues.
Should you have a tenant in breach of any of their obligations, we’ll guide you through the most appropriate steps to solve the problem.
Our tenancy enforcement services cover a variety of issues, including rent arrears recovery and repossession, anti-social behaviour and nuisance, and other breaches of tenancy. We’ll make sure that you can act swiftly in these situations and help to prevent any unnecessary escalation, where that can be avoided. We know that anti-social behaviour can have an impact on the whole community, so we’ll work with you to identify the best course of action and liaise with the Police and Local Authority where appropriate. We provide our unique FreeHome™ service via staged fixed fees. Our associated case management software enables us to serve rent arrears legal notices and handle associated possession claims with speed and accuracy.
We understand that correct policies and procedures are fundamental to the efficient running of your organisation, as well as providing protection from legal and reputational risk. That’s why we work with clients to develop and review their operational documentation, taking into account legal compliance and best practice.
We can train your operational staff so they have an understanding of housing legislation and the impact of non-compliance, to assist with risk management. We’ll help your team understand the why as well as the how, and offer workshops that can be delivered on site or remotely.
With over 50 years’ combined experience in housing management and litigation, Walker Morris’ specialist Block Management team can provide you with complete support.
