Assessing the Circumstances of the Dispute — The Key to an Effective Defence Strategy
Successful resolution of a rental dispute begins with a thorough analysis of all case details, review of the tenancy agreement and evidence of breach.
Solicitor’s actions:
- review of the current tenancy agreement, annexes and related documents
- analysis of the facts underlying the dispute and formulation of the client’s legal position
- assessment of each party’s actions for compliance with UK law
- preparation of a report outlining possible actions and risks

Outcome: the client gains a clear understanding of the legal situation, can identify the best path to resolution and avoid mistakes that may weaken their position.
Representation During Negotiation or Mediation — Peaceful Resolution Without Court
Reaching a compromise without litigation is often the most practical solution. In such cases, it is vital to represent the client’s interests competently to avoid losses or unequal agreements.
Solicitor’s actions:
- organising meetings and negotiations with the other party or their representative
- developing a reasoned position based on current legislation
- participating in mediation to reach an agreement acceptable to the client
- drafting and reviewing the settlement agreement or amendments to the existing contract

Outcome: the client receives a legal and mutually beneficial resolution, avoids court costs and preserves business relations.
