Frequently Asked Questions
What do landlord solicitors do?
Landlord solicitors advise and represent landlords on all aspects of landlord and tenant law. This includes drafting and reviewing tenancy agreements, serving Section 8 notices, conducting possession proceedings, recovering rent arrears, advising on HMO licensing, handling tenancy deposit disputes, and ensuring compliance with the Renters' Rights Act 2025. PDA Law acts exclusively for landlords — not tenants.
Do I need a solicitor to evict a tenant?
You are not legally required to use a solicitor to evict a tenant, but it is strongly advisable. Possession proceedings involve strict procedural rules — an incorrectly served notice or a procedural error can result in your claim being dismissed and the process starting again. A landlord solicitor ensures notices are served correctly, proceedings are issued properly, and your case is presented effectively at the hearing.
How much do landlord solicitors charge?
PDA Law offers fixed fees for many landlord services, including Section 8 notices, possession proceedings and tenancy agreements. Fixed fees give you certainty about costs from the outset. We will provide a clear cost estimate at the first enquiry. Our fixed fee schedule is available on our landlord fixed fees page.
Can you act for landlords anywhere in England and Wales?
Yes. PDA Law is based in Chester but acts for landlords across England and Wales. Most landlord matters can be handled remotely — by phone, email and video call. We have particular expertise in the North West, North Wales, Cheshire and Merseyside, but regularly act for landlords with properties across the country.
What is the Renters' Rights Act 2025 and how does it affect landlords?
The Renters' Rights Act 2025 is the most significant change to landlord and tenant law in a generation. Key changes include: abolition of Section 21 (no-fault eviction) from 1 May 2026; all tenancies becoming periodic (no more fixed terms); new mandatory grounds for possession; rent increase restrictions (once per year, 2 months' notice, market rent cap); and new tenant rights including the right to keep pets. We advise landlords on compliance and how to navigate the new regime.
