Sarah is Of Counsel in the Real Estate Disputes department.  

Sarah has experience in a wide variety of real estate disputes acting for both landlord and tenant clients in the private and public sector. Sarah’s specialisms include business lease renewals and terminations, service charge disputes, rent review, dilapidations, possession claims against trespassers and tenants, advising on applications for consent to assign/sub-let, vacant possession strategies and landlord and tenant insolvency. Sarah also has a particular interest in residential and mixed use issues including those arising from the Building Safety Act 2022, residential service charge disputes, 1987 Act Rights of First Refusal, consultations under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and residential possession claims. She also acted for the (successful) landlord in Upper Tribunal in the case of Westmark (Lettings) Ltd v E Peddle & Aors (2017) which determined a previously undecided issue on when costs are incurred for the purposes under s.20 Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
