Welcome to the Commercial Dispute Resolution Department.
The information below offers more details about our team
and specialisms:
HOUSING
At Watson Ramsbottom we are fully geared
to seek possession of properties for landlords. Most
cases arise due to rental arrears and we are able to
assist landlords recover their properties either by
negotiating a surrender of the tenancy or by the issue
of court proceedings.
Sometimes a letter is all you need,
but when your livelihood depends on rental income are
able to ensure that your property is recovered for you
in the speediest way possible.
One of the best way to avoid
litigation in any type of law is to ensure that the
papers are drafted properly and to that end we offer a
full drafting service including tenancy agreements and
Notices Seeking Possessions under section 21 Housing Act
1988.
LANDLORD & TENANT
As well as assisting residential landlords
we are able to help commercial landlords with tenant
problems. Be it a failure to pay the rent or using the
property for banned purposes we are able to bring
solutions.
It is often key in commercial matters to make sure that
the relationship between the parties is preserved and
with this is mind we will explore all available
negotiable options as a first resort.
If it is necessary to bring a case before the courts we
are experienced in litigating these issues and have
sound knowledge of specialist surveyors and barrister to
ensure your case is presented in the most favourable
fashion.

a real problem, especially is the monies owed are
relatively small. If a view a helping our client we at
