The legal side of transferring, letting and disputes
Transferring a property, letting it out, or dealing with a landlord–tenant dispute all come with a lot of paperwork and a lot of pressure points. Our property team handles the legal side — we act on non-mortgage property transfers (we do not currently act on mortgaged sales, purchases or remortgages), so you can focus on the transfer, the let, or resolving the dispute.
Led by Amjad Khan, with Yasser Sarwar.

Property law — frequently asked questions
Do you handle house sales, purchases or remortgages?
No — we act on non-mortgage property transfers only (for example a transfer between family members, or following separation or inheritance). We do not currently offer conveyancing for mortgaged sales, purchases or remortgages.
Do you act for landlords, tenants, or both?
Both — we can act for either side of a lease or a landlord–tenant dispute (not on opposing sides of the same matter).
What is a Section 8 notice?
A Section 8 notice is the legal mechanism landlords must use to regain possession of a property based on specific grounds (such as rent arrears or anti-social behaviour). Section 21 "no-fault" evictions were abolished in England from 1 May 2026, so Section 8 is now the standard route.
Can I claim for housing disrepair?
If your landlord has failed to keep the property in a reasonable state of repair, you may be able to claim compensation and force them to carry out repairs. We can advise you on the process.
What counts as unlawful eviction?
If a landlord evicts you without following the correct legal process (e.g., changing the locks, removing your belongings, or harassing you into leaving), it may be an unlawful eviction. You may be entitled to compensation.
What does a property transfer cost?
See our fees page for typical costs and timescales. We agree a fixed fee or hourly rate in writing before any work begins.
