Jane Canham

Since qualifying in 2004 I have worked with both individual lessees and corporate landlords and asset managers including the largest private residential landlord in the UK.

I split my practice between handling all enfranchisement claims including: collective enfranchisement, lease extensions, Right to Manage, 1967 Act Claims and Rights of First Refusal and residential property litigation.

I advise on service charge issues, often advising managing agents and landlords in relation to the content of consultation notices and service charge obligations generally. I also advise in relation to Rent Act tenancies, Assured Tenancies and Assured Shorthold tenancies usually in relation to the recovery of possession. I am often asked to advise on difficult development issues including development of roof space, basements and unauthorized works of alteration. I have significant experience in both the County Court, Chancery Division and First Tier Tribunal.

Areas of expertise:

• Leasehold enfranchisement
• Claims and disputes (collective claims, lease extensions and house claims)
• Tenants’ rights of first refusal (Landlord and Tenant Act 1987)
• Tribunal and court proceedings (including Court of Appeal)
• Residential leasehold management advice (including complex licences to alter)
• Residential asset management
• Building Safety Act
