Landlord legal help, from free guidance to a solicitor

Most landlord legal questions — rent arrears, notices, deposits, repairs, rent increases — can be answered quickly and for free by Wala, with the law checked and dated.

When your case needs a professional, such as a defended possession claim, a disrepair counterclaim or complex ownership, Wala explains why and can put you in touch with a landlord solicitor on a fixed fee, with your agreement.

Common questions

Is Wala a solicitor?

No. Wala gives general information about UK landlord law, not legal advice. For decisions with real money or a court case riding on them, check with a solicitor — Wala can put you in touch.

How much does a landlord solicitor cost?

It varies by case. Our solicitor packages are fixed-price — from a paperwork check before you serve, to a full Section 8 possession package.

Can Wala help landlords in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?

Yes. The rules differ in each nation — Wales uses the Renting Homes Act, Scotland the private residential tenancy and First-tier Tribunal — and Wala answers for where your property is.
