At Anthony Gold Solicitors, we understand what you’re facing, and our priority is to ease your burden while ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.

Ending a relationship is never easy. Whether you’re considering divorce, dissolving a civil partnership, or separating from a cohabiting partner, we understand the complexities involved and offer you more than just legal expertise.

Your hard-earned assets should go to the people you care about, not be lost to inheritance tax. Many individuals don’t realise their estate could exceed the tax-free threshold—especially with rising property values—leaving their loved ones with an unexpected tax bill.

When someone close to you can’t make decisions about their finances, welfare, or property, taking on such a vital responsibility can be daunting. Appointing a deputy through the Court of Protection is a way to ensure their interests are safeguarded.

When an employment relationship ends, a settlement agreement may be offered to prevent future disputes. If you’re offered a settlement agreement, it’s crucial to seek independent legal advice to ensure the terms are fair and your rights are protected.

Buying or selling a company can be a transformative step, but it’s also fraught with legal intricacies that can make or break the deal. Whether you’re looking to expand through acquisition or planning to sell your business, expert legal advice is crucial to protect your interests and ensure a smooth process.

When a contract breaks down, the consequences can be stressful and costly. Whether it’s due to negligence, incompetence, or a failure to deliver on agreed terms, taking the right steps quickly is crucial.
Group claims for leaseholders

Anthony Gold Solicitors are proud to be ranked in the top tier for Social Housing: Tenants by the Legal 500 directory, one of only three firms in the UK to achieve this recognition. This reflects our unmatched dedication to advocating for tenants and leaseholders’ rights and our extensive expertise in housing law, particularly in complex and high-stakes group claims.
At Anthony Gold Solicitors, we handle a wide range of group claims aimed at protecting leaseholders’ rights and securing justice for those impacted by housing-related issues. Our experienced team has successfully managed claims involving common grievances faced by leaseholders, ensuring that their voices are unified, and their cases are strong. Here are some key areas where we provide dedicated legal support:
Many leaseholders suffer due to landlords failing to maintain their buildings adequately, resulting in poor living conditions such as damp, mould, or structural issues. Group claims in this area allow leaseholders to collectively address widespread disrepair, making their case more impactful and increasing the likelihood of a successful resolution.
Cases involving structural dangers, fire safety violations, fire damage or substandard building practices fall under this category. Whether it’s unsafe cladding or neglected maintenance that poses health risks, we have the expertise to represent groups affected by serious safety concerns, ensuring that landlords or responsible parties are held accountable.
Leaseholders are entitled to peaceful occupancy, free from significant disruptions. When this right is breached, especially during extensive renovations or large-scale building works, it can severely impact day-to-day life. Group claims for breaches of quiet enjoyment covenants allow leaseholders to come together to seek justice and proper compensation for the disturbances endured.
When a building becomes uninhabitable, whether due to disrepair or safety hazards, leaseholders may face evacuations or emergency decants—forced moves to alternative housing. We support leaseholders in these urgent situations, advocating for fair treatment and ensuring their rights and needs are met during the process.
A lack of reliable heating and hot water can severely impact leaseholders’ well-being. Group claims addressing inadequate or faulty heating systems help leaseholders collectively challenge landlords and achieve faster, more comprehensive resolutions.
Defects in new-build properties can leave leaseholders facing unsafe living conditions, persistent disrepair, and financial strain from escalating maintenance issues. We hold developers and landlords accountable for structural faults, fire safety risks, and poor workmanship in new builds, ensuring our clients secure the repairs and compensation they deserve.
We are committed to supporting leaseholders with clear, practical advice on a wide range of housing issues. Learn more about what sets us apart.

We have just completed a successful mediation with Anthony Gold’s help, who were working on behalf of 38 leaseholders in a breach of contract/disrepair dispute vs our housing association. The initial contact with Sarah was very reassuring and she secured a fee agreement that meant getting support from a wide group of claimants was feasible.

To prove housing disrepair, it’s important to gather solid evidence. Photos and videos of the damage are key, and in some cases, a professional inspection may be needed to assess the condition of the property. Landlords often arrange their own inspections after being notified, but if the issue is disputed, our team at Anthony Gold Solicitors can guide you on gathering the right evidence and demonstrating the seriousness of the problem.
The duration of a housing disrepair claim varies. If a settlement is negotiated, it can be resolved relatively quickly. However, if court proceedings are necessary, the process may take several months or longer. At Anthony Gold Solicitors, we strive to reach a resolution as swiftly as possible while ensuring your rights are fully protected.
The compensation you receive from a housing disrepair claim typically depends on the severity of the issue and is often calculated as a percentage of the rent paid during the time you were affected. You may also be able to claim for losses, such as damaged belongings or costs you’ve incurred trying to address the disrepairs yourself. At Anthony Gold Solicitors, we will discuss potential compensation with you from the start, so you have a clear and realistic understanding of what to expect.
