Ben Robinson

His expertise also extends to providing comprehensive advice in relation to complex residential landlord and tenant issues including service charge disputes (most recently acting in the Supreme Court case of Aviva v Williams), breach of covenant, and forfeiture, enabling him to assist clients with the effective management of their real estate portfolios. Aside from block and estate management, Ben’s practice covers enfranchisement claims, party wall disputes, boundary disputes and adverse possession claims. He also specialises in property-related professional negligence claims and vacant possession strategies for large-scale development sites.

He has spoken at a number of events, such as the National Housing Federation’s annual ‘Leaseholder and Tenant Service Charges’ conference, and the Asset Management Conference (Housing Quality Network), where Ben leads peer-to-peer discussions on service charges and fire safety works, discussing apportioning and charging for fire safety improvements. Separately, he regularly contributes to articles on the issue (including a fire safety podcast for the leading real estate publication, Estates Gazette), together with seminars and bespoke training sessions for clients and other property professionals.
