Rosa-Maria assists her clients with a range of property related issues including those which relate to agricultural tenancies, boundary disputes, residential and commercial property disputes (including service charges, other breach of lease and forfeiture), dilapidations, business lease renewal claims, right to light matters, housing disrepair, housing possession (both private and social); tenant’s right of first refusal procedures and high value enfranchisement claims.
