Top Landlord & Tenant Solicitors In Glasgow.

The housing practice is jointly led by Derek Hogg and James McMorrow, and Collette Miller is noted for long experience of factoring legislation, housing management and shared ownership.

Alongside its institutional housing work, the firm has a dispute resolution service for individuals that covers property disputes, and its Glasgow headquarters gives it a deep understanding of the city's housing market. It is a strong choice for landlords with larger portfolios and for complex disputes that may need to go beyond the tribunal.

Govan Law Centre is a Glasgow law centre with solicitors who specialise in housing and homelessness law. Its caseload includes homelessness challenges, eviction defence for private and social tenants, mortgage repossessions and housing disrepair, and between January and March 2024 alone it handled 127 court and tribunal housing cases.

It has also shaped Scottish housing law: it gave evidence on the bill that created private residential tenancies and joined the Scottish Government's advisory group on putting the new law into practice. It offers free legal surgeries and a telephone advice line. For tenants facing eviction or homelessness who cannot afford a private solicitor, it is one of the most experienced places to turn.

The Legal Services Agency (LSA) is a Glasgow charity whose housing team helps tenants in private and social housing, homeowners and people without accommodation across Glasgow and Inverclyde. It defends evictions at any stage and whatever the landlord's reason, challenges homelessness decisions, defends mortgage repossessions and helps with disrepair, including court or tribunal action where needed.

Its lawyers represent clients in the sheriff court and at the Housing and Property Chamber, take specialist appeals, and use equality and human rights law in eviction cases. Urgent help is available. Ask LSA directly about cost and whether legal aid applies to your case.

Lindsays is ranked for property litigation in both Chambers (Band 4) and Legal 500 (Tier 3), and its court actions service for individuals lists landlord and tenant disputes alongside repairs, access and boundary disputes. It can act at every level, from simple procedure claims to the sheriff court and Court of Session.

The firm prefers to resolve disputes by negotiation where it can, and it explains clearly how expenses work in Scottish courts before you commit to a case. That combination of recognised litigation strength and a service designed for individuals makes it a good option for landlords and tenants with more valuable or complicated disputes.
