In our latest webinar in our Real Estate Dispute Resolution Training Programme 2025, we address the key issues that developers and landlords face when devising vacant possession strategies for mixed-use premises in England and Wales, including:

  • practical strategies for successfully opposing renewal of 1954 Act leases on redevelopment and landlord’s own occupation grounds
  • understanding redevelopment break rights
  • managing tenants occupying premises after the expiry of a contracted-out lease
  • identifying and avoiding critical break notice pitfalls and
  • key considerations for handling residential tenancies
