Property & housing
Property and housing barristers, instructed directly.
Whether you are facing a property dispute, a difficult tenancy, a planning battle or a construction claim, a barrister can advise and represent you directly.
Property and housing problems move quickly and the stakes are high, whether it is your home, a buy-to-let, a development site or commercial premises. A barrister gives you specialist advice on the strength of your position and the realistic outcomes, and can act for you from the first letter through to a final hearing.
Through Direct Access you can instruct a barrister directly, without going through a solicitor first. That keeps costs down and puts you in contact with the specialist who will argue your case. Every barrister listed here is regulated by the Bar Standards Board.
