🎶 What an incredible weekend at Local and Live in Tunbridge Wells!

As Gold Sponsor, we were proud to support an event that brings our community together through the power of live music.

Local & Live is about so much more than the performances on stage. It's about creating opportunities for local artists, celebrating creativity, connecting people and making fantastic community events accessible to everyone.

Events like these simply wouldn't happen without the dedication of organisers, volunteers, supporters and sponsors who share a passion for making a difference locally. We're proud to play a small part in helping such a well-loved event continue to thrive.

A huge thank you to everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes and to everyone who came along to support this year's festival! 🎸❤️

What a great evening at Paddock Wood Bowls Club!

​📻 Tune in tomorrow at 8.45am

Landlords: Section 21 has now disappeared from the possession process - so what happens next?

The Renters’ Rights Act has changed the landscape for residential landlords, with possession claims now needing to rely on specific statutory grounds under Section 8.

Whether you are thinking about selling, moving back into your property, dealing with rent arrears or managing a difficult tenancy, early planning and good record keeping are now more important than ever.

Our Dispute Resolution team can advise landlords, letting agents and property investors on the options available under the new regime.

Section 21 notices have ended under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025. Learn what this means for landlords, the new possession grounds available and why early legal advice is now essential. Berry & Lamberts Solicitors, Kent. Berry and Lamberts Solicitors | Solicitors in Kent our News

With important inheritance tax changes due from April 2027, now is a good time to review your pension nominations, will and wider estate planning arrangements.

Read our latest blog for a clear overview of the current rules and what the upcoming changes could mean for you and your family.

Understand what happens to your pension when you die, how death benefits are taxed, and how April 2027 inheritance tax changes may affect estate planning. Berry & Lamberts Solicitors in Kent. Berry and Lamberts Solicitors | Solicitors in Kent our News
