 
Buying Property in the UK
If you need help to draft a suitable contract for renting your property, our expert solicitors can provide advice that will resolve your problems. Stipulations set out in the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 establish general obligations and rights with which both must comply.
Written contracts may add to the statutory provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act, but any inclusions that do not comply with or fall short of those set out by law are not enforceable.

The type of tenancy, whether assured, secured, long or shorthold, will affect the obligations that the landlord has to comply with, and it is important that this is set out in any written terms and conditions.
Gray Purdue Solicitors can offer comprehensive guidance on different types of tenancies and relevant conditions, and advise landlords on their responsibilities and rights so there is no confusion as to their legal status.
Oral Residential Contracts
In the absence of a written contract between landlord and tenant, an oral contract is legally binding under the same conditions as a written agreement, although in the case of a dispute additional stipulations to the statutory regulations may be difficult to prove in the absence of witnesses.
Avoiding Property Disputes
Whilst a contract is not obligatory by law in the UK, a written copy of terms for both the landlord and the tenant will help avoid future misunderstandings.
