Steve Eccles Email & Phone Number

I head up Bevan Brittan's national Property Litigation team.I provide advice to clients across most of the firm's markets, but with a focus on the housing sector. I deal with all types of residential and commercial property issues but I have particular expertise in dealing with the removal of telecommunications operators from land, dilapidations disputes, Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 claims, rights of light, the exercise of break clauses to terminate commercial leases and residential leasehold management issues (including statutory leaseholder consultation).In the housing context, I have been advising clients on contentious housing issues for over 15 years. I am proud to have been a NED and Vice Chair of Elim Housing Association; a role that gave me invaluable insight from the coalface on the challenges and opportunities facing the social housing sector.Much of my work constitutes risk management advice, whereby I help clients manage issues early to stop them turning into disputes. Where a dispute arises, I take a robust and commercial approach to the dispute resolution process and am experienced in resolving disputes via litigation (County Court, High Court and Court of Appeal), arbitration, expert determination, mediation and in the property tribunals (First-tier and Upper Tribunals).

Listed skills include Property Law, Dispute Resolution, Legal Advice, Dispute, and 21 others.
