• Landlord and tenant disputes including dilapidations claims, service charge disputes and other breach of covenant disputes
• Property management services
• Litigation related to property development including disputes over rights to light, profit share agreements, easements, option agreements, restrictive covenants and boundaries
• Disputes over licences to assign, to alter and to sublet and in relation to Authorised Guarantee Agreements
• Proceedings relating to conveyancing transactions, including actions for specific performance and misrepresentation
• Enfranchisement and leasehold extensions

We are ranked as a leading firm in Property Litigation by the Legal 500, and have been praised for our “extensive specialist property experience” and "thriving landlord/tenant practice".

Property litigation disputes often involve an element of banking, fraud or negligence, being areas in which Glovers’ dispute resolution department also practises, and we are able to utilise that expertise for the maximum benefit of clients.

We are also able to draw upon the exceptional property expertise of Glovers’ non-contentious departments to assist our clients with any potential problems before they arise and to offer comprehensive solutions if they do.
