Landlord & Tenant

At BTF, we provide specialist advice on all Landlord and Tenant matters relating to commercial, residential and agricultural property. Our team combines deep legal knowledge with a pragmatic, solution-focused approach to help both landlords and tenants manage their rights, responsibilities, and relationships effectively.

We act on behalf of both landlords and tenants in negotiating lease renewals, ensuring fair and commercially sound outcomes. Our advice is tailored to reflect current market conditions and the legal framework governing protected and non-protected tenancies.

Using up-to-date market data and a strong grasp of rental valuation principles, we undertake rent reviews that reflect true market value while minimising conflict. We guide clients through formal and informal review processes with clarity and confidence.

Disagreements can arise during the lifecycle of any lease. We work to resolve disputes swiftly and professionally—whether relating to rent, repairs, terms, or occupation—through negotiation, mediation, or expert referral, always aiming to protect relationships and avoid unnecessary costs.

We advise on lease restructuring and regearing to help both parties align their property interests with changing circumstances. Whether you’re seeking to extend, surrender, vary terms, or reassign obligations, we offer practical solutions that work for all sides.

Our team advises on leasehold enfranchisement matters, including the right to acquire the freehold or extend lease terms. We help clients understand the process, manage valuations, and handle negotiations to ensure fair outcomes under statutory and voluntary agreements.
