Property and housing law covers the ownership, occupation and use of land and buildings, and the disputes that arise over them: buying and selling, tenancies, boundaries, possession, service charges and more. A barrister can advise you on your position and represent you in court or tribunal.
This is a broad area, and many matters fall under a more specific heading such as landlord and tenant, commercial property, houses in multiple occupation, or planning. A barrister can identify the right route and act for you throughout. Through Direct Access you can instruct a barrister directly, without going through a solicitor first.
Barristers are regulated by the Bar Standards Board.
