Property
John handles property disputes involving commercial and residential property. He advises on restrictive covenants, easements, mortgages and charges, trusts of land, estoppel, and land registration. This work often raises discrete issues in other areas of law such as conveyancing, construction, and probate. He deals on behalf of both landlords and tenants with tenancy issues including disrepair, rights to possession, tenancy fraud, public law and human rights issues, anti-social behaviour, service charge disputes, and failure to comply with landlords’ statutory obligations. He also works on contentious and non-contentious aspects of leasehold enfranchisement.
