    No answer, no entry: For landlords when requests for entry to a property are refused and/or ignored

    Being a landlord comes with a range of responsibilities, but what happens when a tenant refuses to allow access to a property for essential repairs or inspections? What may seem like a straightforward issue can quickly become complicated, costly and legally challenging. In this episode of TW Law Talk, Nick Coffer is joined by Saljuq Haider, Partner in Commercial Litigation, and Isabella Mason, who works across Taylor Walton’s Commercial Property and Property Litigation departments, to explore the legal complexities of landlord access injunctions. They discuss tenants’ rights to exclusive possession, the importance of following the terms of a lease or tenancy agreement, and the practical steps landlords should take to secure access before considering court proceedings. The conversation also examines how genuine emergencies differ from routine inspections, the evidence required to obtain an injunction, and why even a successful court application does not necessarily guarantee access to the property. Alongside this, they explore the uncertainty surrounding the enforcement of access injunctions, the potential legal and financial consequences of forcing entry, and the need to balance landlords’ legitimate interests with the protection of tenants, particularly those who may be vulnerable. A conversation about preparation, proportionality and the importance of seeking early legal advice to help landlords navigate a complex area of property law and avoid costly disputes.

    Buying Your First Home: What to Know Before You Start

    Buying a first home is often described as one of life’s most exciting milestones, but it can also feel confusing, pressured and, at times, overwhelming. With so much information, and so many myths, knowing where to start is not always straightforward. In this episode of TW Law Talk, Nick Coffer is joined by mortgage adviser Max Harris and property solicitor Jeremy Mitchell to guide first time buyers through the process from both a financial and legal perspective. They explore common misconceptions around deposits, borrowing and legal fees, explain how lenders assess affordability in today’s market, and set out what really happens once an offer is accepted. The conversation also covers the practical realities behind the scenes, from timescales and paperwork to the importance of clean financial records and understanding the full cost of buying beyond the deposit. Alongside this, they reflect on the value of professional advice, why preparation matters and how small steps early on can make the entire process smoother. A conversation about clarity, confidence and helping first time buyers navigate one of the biggest decisions they will ever make. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    An Alternative to Court: How Collaborative Law is Changing Family Dispute Resolution

    Collaborative law, mediation and other non-court approaches are becoming increasingly central to how families resolve disputes. But what does collaborative law actually look like in practice, and where does it sit alongside other options? In this episode, Nick Coffer is joined by family lawyer Natalie Beese, financial adviser Wesley Fox and accountant John Sheehan to explore how the collaborative model works and why it is gaining renewed attention. They discuss the impact of conflict on children, the growing emphasis on non-court dispute resolution and the way collaborative law enables couples to stay in control of decisions around their children and finances. The conversation also looks at the practical realities of the process, including the role of multidisciplinary teams, financial transparency and how complex issues such as pensions, tax and business assets can be worked through constructively. At its heart, collaborative law is about problem-solving rather than positioning. By bringing the right professionals around the table and creating a safe, structured space for discussion, it offers families a way to move forward with greater clarity and less conflict. A carefully considered look at why the way separation is managed can shape outcomes for years to come. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
