In Michael Law Solicitors we have extensive experience dealing with landlords on behalf of our clients. If you rent your home or if you are a leaseholder, you have a legal agreement with your landlord or freeholder. This gives you both rights and responsibilities.

Michael Law advise tenants on their rights and on the duties of their landlords. Your landlord is legally required to maintain your property to certain standards. If you are being threatened with eviction contact us now on.

Tenants by Law benefit from a great deal of protection from being evicted. Landlords must follow a strict set of procedures set forth by law if they are to remove you from your home. There is always something Michael Law can do to either stop the eviction process or at least delay it.

We offer fixed and hourly fees on our employment and our Client care letter will highlight our fees and structure at the onset.

Our costs based on hourly rates from £100 to £290 depending on the experience of the solicitor or caseworker dealing with your case as stated above.

The fees set out above cover all the stages of the work we will carry out on your behalf and they include the following key stages of the claim:

Taking your initial instructions, reviewing the papers and advising you on merits;
Entering into pre-claim conciliation where this is mandatory to explore whether a settlement can be reached;
Preparing claim or response;
Reviewing and advising on claim or response from other party;
Exploring settlement and negotiating settlement throughout the process;
Preparing or considering a schedule of loss;
Preparing for (and attending) hearings;
Exchanging documents with the other party and agreeing a bundle of documents;

Preparing bundle of documents;
Reviewing and advising on the other party’s witness statements;
Agreeing a list of issues, a chronology and/or cast list;
Preparing Instructions to Counsel.

The time that it takes from taking your initial instructions to the final resolution of your matter depends largely on the stage at which your case is resolved. If a settlement is reached during pre-claim conciliation, your case is likely to take few weeks. If your claim proceeds to a Final Hearing, your case is likely to take 6 months or beyond. This is just an estimate on timescale and as we progress, we will of course be able to give you an accurate timescale.
