Mike Hansom

  • Office: Bath
  • Department: Property Disputes , Commercial Property Disputes , Leasehold Property Rights
  • Role: Consultant

Since qualifying as a solicitor in 2005, Mike has specialised in property disputes and now heads the team. His experience encompasses the full spectrum of property disputes work.

Leasehold property

Mike acts for landlords and tenants in commercial and residential leasehold matters, regularly advising on the interpretation of residential and commercial leases, with a loyal following of clients in Bath, Bristol and beyond.

He has developed a particular interest in the law relating to residential long leases, including collective enfranchisement, lease extensions, and the Right to Manage.

Freehold property rights

Another principal area of interest is freehold property rights, assisting landowners with problems concerning rights of way, adverse possession, and determining the true position of the legal boundary.

Mike has also acted many times in disputes between co-owners of jointly owned property.

In recent years, Mike has also seen rising interest in claims involving invasive bamboo and Japanese Knotweed. Check out his articles Japanese Knotweed Claims and Bamboo and the Law UK.

Press coverage

In addition to regularly contributing articles to our Blog, Mike’s reputation means he is often approached by journalists from the national and regional press for guidance within his areas of expertise. Recent examples include:

  • How not to fall out with your neighbours over a fence – Daily Telegraph
  • Next door’s garden fence has fallen down and the property manager is ignoring me – what can I do? – Daily Mail (This is Money)
  • I’m buying a leasehold flat and won’t be able to have pets, sublet or play musical instruments: Is this normal? – Daily Mail (This is Money)
  • Can we put up a tall garden fence to stop the neighbours overlooking us? – Daily Mail (This is Money)
  • Our noisy upstairs neighbours give us a headache: Will soundproofing work and if not is there any legal action we can take? – Daily Mail (This is Money)
