The social housing practice at Anthony Gold Solicitors LLP boasts a team of ‘excellent negotiators’ who are experts on the rights of social housing tenants and leaseholders. Practice head Andrew Brookes, a ‘leader in his field’, specialises in providing advice on leaseholder issues and disrepair matters, and his involvement in the Grenfell inquiry has strengthened the team’s experience in fire safety remediation. The firm has been involved in complex and unusual possession claims and acts for long leaseholders of social housing landlords regarding claims for breach of lease, service charge disputes, and leasehold enfranchisement; Timothy Waitt is an expert in social housing litigation. The group’s experience in housing spans across a range of issues, including tenancy deposits and licensing, and a variety of social housing occupiers, such as shared-ownership tenants and leaseholders. Giles Peaker is a specialist in multi-claimant matters, a growing area of expertise for the firm, and the team now has a successful track record in instructions from groups of tenants and leaseholders. Eleanor Solomon also plays a key role in managing and settling multi-party claims.
