Who we help

We act for landlords and for tenants, but never for both sides in the same matter. Our clients include people who have inherited a let property and become landlords for the first time, owners of one or several buy to let properties, and tenants who need a tenancy agreement explained before they sign or when a problem arises. We act for clients across Hull and in Hessle, Cottingham, Anlaby, Willerby, Kirk Ella, Hedon and Beverley.

At the outset we will tell you whether the matter is likely to be straightforward or contested, so that the advice and its cost are proportionate.
