Sarah Rogers
Senior Associate- Housing and Regeneration (litigation)
I am a senior associate solicitor and higher rights advocate and I head up the Housing Management Team within the Housing and Regeneration Department. I have over 10 years post qualification experience in housing law.
I represent social landlords, pursuing possession and / or injunction proceedings for breaches of tenancy including rent, garden, property condition, hoarding, failure to grant access and cyclical maintenance.
I also deal with accelerated and trespass possession, succession and possession following death, assignment, notices to quit, allocation, mental capacity, Equality Act disputes, illegal subletting, tenancy fraud and housing ombudsman complaints.
I deal with court hearings, including trial advocacy and regularly attend client offices for legal surgeries and to deliver training throughout the country.
What is it like working in lockdown?
I miss seeing my client’s and colleagues face to face and I even miss travelling around the country on the train, despite the sometimes very early starts. I have made up for it with virtual meetings and training sessions and also writing regular e-briefs about the vast changes to possession law since the lockdown hit.
Three words that describe me?
Feisty, talkative and highly organised.
Hobbies and interests
Walking my gorgeous cocker spaniel, Spencer, jigsaws and, pre lock down, going out dancing with my friends.
Favourite Food and Drink
Steak, medium rare, with mushrooms and rum with ginger beer and lime… delicious! |
