Landlord & Tenant Solicitors in Llandudno & Conwy

Our approach

Welsh housing law has diverged meaningfully from England's since 2016, and a lot of landlords — and letting agents — are still working from out-of-date templates. We make sure your paperwork is actually compliant, not just familiar.

Frequently asked questions

What's an occupation contract?

Since December 2022, most tenancies in Wales are legally "occupation contracts" under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, replacing assured shorthold tenancies. Landlords must issue a written statement of the contract, and the rules on notice periods differ from the old system.

Do you act for landlords or tenants?

Both — we advise landlords and tenants across North Wales, including on possession proceedings, rent arrears and disputes.

More about these services

Occupation contracts & written statements

Since Welsh housing law changed, most residential tenancies in Wales are now 'occupation contracts' rather than assured shorthold tenancies. We help landlords put the correct written statement in place, and advise tenants on what theirs means.

Possession proceedings

If a tenancy needs to end and the tenant won't leave voluntarily, we advise landlords on the correct legal process for regaining possession, and represent tenants facing possession proceedings.

Rent arrears

Whether you're a landlord chasing unpaid rent or a tenant struggling to keep up with payments, early advice on the right approach can often avoid matters escalating unnecessarily.

Deposit and property condition disputes

Disagreements over whether a deposit should be returned in full, often linked to the condition of the property at the end of a tenancy, are among the most common landlord and tenant disputes — we advise both sides.

Converting older tenancy agreements to comply with Welsh law

Older tenancy agreements, particularly assured shorthold tenancies granted before December 2022, need updating to meet the requirements of the Renting Homes (Wales) Act. We help landlords bring existing agreements into line.

Notices seeking possession

Serving the correct notice, in the correct form and with the correct notice period, is essential if a possession claim is going to succeed. We prepare and check notices so they'll stand up if challenged.
