Pro Landlord is a division of Protopapas LLP – a firm of solicitors based in London that has been providing services and building long lasting relationships in the legal sector since 1990.

We specialise in Property Litigation. We deal with both residential and commercial issues and disputes, for both freehold and leasehold properties. We have particular expertise in dealing with complex central London leasehold disputes between landlords and tenants.

In addition, we deal with other and more specialised property litigation issues including relating to: hotels, hospitality and leisure; mixed use property; shopping centres; development and construction issues; properties providing serviced accommodation and short let accommodation; commercial lease disputes and breaches of lease; unlawful subletting for profit; disputes involving neighbours and adjacent properties; complicated evictions; unopposed and opposed commercial lease renewals; leasehold enfranchisement issues and applications to the First Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) for premium determinations; and more as outlined below.

Whether routine possession proceedings or complex and high value property litigation, we treat all matters promptly and commercially with professionalism, precision and a personal touch. Our main goal is to always try and resolve any issue without the need for the involvement of the Court. However, if Court action needs to be taken or defended, we will ensure that our client’s case is prepared and put forward properly and argued as strongly as possible, in an effort to achieve our client’s desired outcome.
