Based in our South London offices at London Bridge, Andrew is head of our Housing Department. He has 30 years’ experience in housing and residential property law; acting for both tenants and landlords during a dispute. He now heads a team that advises and represents public and private landlords, as well as tenants and leaseholders. Also, the Anthony Gold Housing Department is listed in the Legal 500 as a Tier 1 firm for Social Housing: Tenant and a Band 1 firm for the same discipline in Chambers and Partners.
Andrew has assembled a housing team full of talented, passionate people; many of whom are recognised experts in this niche field. He is immensely proud of the people he works with, and their involvement in campaigning and undertaking policy work to improve the rights of tenants and leaseholders.
A litigator at heart, Andrew specialises in tenant disputes with freeholders concerning repairs and service charges. He has been with Anthony Gold since 1992 and has always been passionate about resolving people’s housing struggles. His everyday focus is on improving his clients’ housing conditions, keeping people in their homes, and ensuring landlord/tenant relationships run smoothly.
In 2019, the Legal 500 described Andrew as “an absolute legend in the housing space” and an “undisputed expert of housing law”. Andrew prides himself on being a solicitor who develops solutions for clients, rather than simply set out problems. Anyone who instructs him can be confident that he has the experience, tenacity, and enthusiasm to achieve their objectives.
