FAQs

If you own a property with your ex-partner, and you have failed to reach an agreement about the sale of the property, then it is best to seek legal advice on how to sell the property. The Court has a wide range of powers and can make an order that either one party buys the other party’s share in the property (at market value), or the property is advertised for sale using an estate agent. Often the Court will punish the uncooperative party by making them pay the other party’s legal costs.

Such property ownership disputes are regulated by the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996. Anwar Legal can help guide you through this process, whether you are defending or fighting for your rights in a property ownership dispute.

If the commercial tenant is breaching terms of a lease you should consider serving notice in accordance with section 146 of the Law of Property Act 1925 – save for cases involving rent arrears.

Your notice should clearly explain (i) the wording of the clause in the lease and how the tenant is breaching the particular clause(s) (ii) a reasonable timeframe for the tenant to remedy the breach (if it is capable of remedy) (iii) amount of compensation the tenant needs to pay for committing the breach. The notice must be prepared, and served, in accordance with the lease.

If the tenant fails to remedy the breaches, within the timeframe provided in the notice, then the landlord may be able to forfeit the lease by peacefully re-entering the premises.

If you have received a notice under Section 25 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 then your Commercial Landlord does not want to renew the Lease. The S25 Notice must provide a 6 month notice period and cannot expire before the end of the Lease.

Your landlord can rely on a number of ground(s) to refuse a new Lease which are: (a): failure to repair and maintain the premises (b) persistent rent arrears (c) other substantial breaches of the Lease (d) alternative accommodation has been offered (e) where part-letting, and higher rent can be obtained from renting the whole premises (f) landlord’s intention to demolish or reconstruct the premises which cannot be done without obtaining possession (g) landlord’s intention to occupy the premises for his own business or as a residence. A tenant may be able to receive compensation if the landlord relies upon grounds e, f and g above.

If a new lease is not agreed, then an application must be made before the end of the 6 month period. If no application is made before the date specified in the S25 notice then the tenant will lose their right to a renewal lease and will have no right to remain in occupation of the property.
