His wider housing work includes appeals, judicial review, service charges, and dilapidations.

He is frequently instructed in substantial matters from an early stage and regularly receives repeat instructions from professional clients. Julian is also happy to discuss cases informally prior to instruction and accepts appointments in mediation, both as counsel and as a mediator.

His publications include co-editing Regulating the City: Contemporary Urban Housing Law (2016) and People and Buildings: Comparative Housing Law (2017), as well as numerous articles on topics such as selective licensing, landlord and tenant formalities, nuisance, redevelopment, and possession-related issues.
