Property

Amie accepts instructions to act on behalf of landlords in possession proceedings under the Housing Act 1988 and has represented clients in respect of boundary disputes and housing disrepair claims, both at trial and in mediation.

Amie was recently successful on an appeal following a one day trial concerning a boundary dispute between a commercial premises and unregistered land which involved issues relating to the interpretation of an express right of way and issues of prescriptive rights and estoppel.

As well as her court work, Amie is regularly instructed to draft pleadings in a property law context and to provide formal advice. Examples of Amie’s advisory work in relation to property law matters includes:

• Advised on the interpretation of a break clause in relation to an assigned lease and authorised guarantee agreement
• Advised in relation to the interpretation of a rent increase term and non-compete clause in a business lease
• Advised a landlord in respect of a tenancy regulated by the Rent Act 1977
