A leasehold dispute can become extremely stressful for both parties because for the landlord or owner, the property at the centre of the dispute represents a major asset or investment.

For the leaseholder, however, this will also be their home. Both parties will usually wish to resolve matters as quickly as possible, however, this can be difficult once the lines of communication have broken down, and it is important to seek legal advice as quickly as possible if a leasehold dispute should arise.
