Housing

We act for both private landlords and tenants in respect of rented property. We also act in disputes involving Council or Housing Association properties.

If you are homeless, then provided that you meet the legal requirements, we will assist you in securing accommodation through the Local Authority even though this may only be for a short period.

We also handle cases involving possession proceedings by Mortgagees, Local Authorities or Housing Associations.

If you have been unlawfully evicted or are threatened with unlawful eviction, we will secure an order to prevent your Landlord from unlawfully evicting you. Where you have already been evicted, we would represent you to secure an order that you be allowed to return to the property. You may also be entitled to compensation.

If the property you live in is in a bad state of repair or is affected by damp or other defect, we are able to assist you in claiming damages or other remedy for disrepairs of your rented accommodation.

If your Bank or Building Society are seeking possession due to your not keeping up with your mortgage payments, we advise or represent you at the hearing and would negotiate with your lender for time to pay the arrears.

This is often easier than it seems where you have no previous record of arrears.
