Fenners Property Practice Group
Fenners’ Property Practice Group offers specialist expertise across a range of commercial and private property matters. We look to balance the rigour needed to understand the law with a healthy dose of pragmatism and common-sense. We recognise that clients want practical answers to their concerns, whether they are developers marketing a site, neighbours in dispute, landlords burdened with a defaulting tenant or tenants faced with an unreasonable landlord.
The ability of our Property Practice Group is reflected in the legal directories: The Legal 500 recommends as many property lawyers from Fenners as all other chambers on the South Eastern circuit added together. Based in the heart of East Anglia much of our work is focused on rural law: Bruce Monnington and Andrew Gore are the only agricultural law specialists identified by Chambers’ Directory in the south or east of England.
Whilst much of our work is advisory we appear in the courts at all levels, as well as all property tribunals, and are happy to conduct site visits in order to provide advice.
