Dutton Gregory

Landlords, we’re in your corner!

We have a dedicated Property Lettings & Revenue department, which is the largest of its kind in the UK. As a result, we offer unrivalled expertise in this sector.

Our specialist team has been established for over 30 years and consists of highly trained lawyers and support staff. We are recognised as leaders in lettings law, and regularly contribute to discussions on industry best-practice. We are trusted legal advisors to both lettings professionals and landlords across the UK.

Much of our work comes by referral from clients, who are confident in our efficient and reliable service. Landlords know they can turn to us for help with any matters that arise.

We take the time to fully review your case, including all associated documentation, and provide a summary of your options. Once we have established your preferred course of action, we will offer fixed-price services wherever possible. Our clients value the transparency and peace of mind this provides.

We will work with you to resolve your matter as quickly as possible, combining our legal expertise with a holistic view of the desired outcome.

We know this collaboration is key to achieving results, and we believe that great communication is essential at every stage.

You will have a key point of contact within our team, who will ensure you are regularly updated, and keep things moving on your behalf.

Below are the key lettings services we offer:

  • Documentation review
  • Serving of Notices
  • Court applications
  • Possession claims
  • Revenue Recovery
  • Defended Claims
  • Rent repayment orders

Should your claim become defended, we will provide a robust response. We have rapid access to counsel for further advice, who can represent you in Court should the need arise.

We know that this can be a stressful time for landlords, so we’ll do whatever it takes to get results – we’re in your corner.

In most cases your telephone advice will be provided by one of the solicitors below:
