A company had a significant property portfolio. They came to us after one of their properties had been let to a nightclub which got into financial difficulties. The nightclub had assigned the lease to a Phoenix company which also quickly became financially unsound. At the same time our client had found a new tenant for the property, which was on a much sounder financial footing. We negotiated an advantageous early surrender of the lease enabling our client to re-let the property to the better tenant.
Our client was an owner of a number of commercial premises. A commercial tenant had failed to pay the rent. We forfeited the property by way of court proceedings thereby recovering possession for our client.
Our client was a large land owner. An owner of neighbouring land had registered that neighbouring land with the Land Registry and had incorporated a large field, which our client owned into his title! We applied for rectification of the Register at which point the neighbouring owner claimed adverse possession (i.e. said that they had been in occupation of the land, in this case, for some 70 years). We conducted a Land Registry adjudication which lasted several days at the conclusion of which the land was restored to our client and the neighbouring owner was ordered to pay our client's entire costs.
