Property litigation

Gatehouse Chambers is highly regarded for its 'strong property knowledge', and garners praise from clients as 'a reliable destination for complex, high-value property work'. Brie Stevens-Hoare KC appeared for the claimant in Triplark Ltd v Whale and others, where the High Court ruled that a landlord's proposed renewal of a communal heating and hot water system was not within the landlord's repairing obligations as the works would increase the maintenance burden on tenants at the property. Jamal Demachkie 'has a razor sharp brain, is decisive with his advice and excellent on his feet'.
