Landlords & agents facing regulatory issues

If your HMO licence is being challenged, it’s essential to act quickly. Contact a solicitor experienced in HMO regulations as soon as you’re notified of the challenge. At Anthony Gold, we specialise in defending landlords against local authority action. We’ll review your case, help you understand the grounds for the challenge, and work to resolve the issue, often without the need for court involvement.

To ensure your property meets fire safety regulations, you must follow key guidelines such as installing smoke alarms, ensuring proper fire exits, and maintaining fire safety equipment. Regular inspections are also essential. If you’re unsure about compliance, we can review your property’s fire safety measures and advise on necessary improvements to keep you on the right side of the law and avoid enforcement actions.

Disputes over repairs can be stressful, but they can often be resolved through negotiation. As a landlord, it’s important to respond to tenant concerns promptly and to ensure all repairs are made according to your legal obligations. At Anthony Gold, we assist landlords in reaching agreements with tenants, offering mediation services or negotiating settlements that avoid lengthy disputes or court proceedings.

The key to avoiding court is addressing tenant concerns early. If a dispute arises, contact a solicitor immediately to help negotiate with the tenant or address any legal obligations. Our housing law team at Anthony Gold Solicitors can intervene to resolve disputes before they escalate, saving you the time, expense, and stress of court proceedings. We aim to settle most cases out of court through mediation or negotiation.

Receiving an enforcement notice can be alarming, but it’s important not to ignore it. Contact a solicitor as soon as possible to review the notice and understand your options.

Early legal intervention is crucial to potentially avoid further action or prosecution.
