Housing Law from an Experienced Team in London

We are experts in housing law.

We are committed to social justice and strictly act only for tenants and the homeless. An experienced solicitor will be available to discuss any emergency that requires legal intervention. We, of course, appreciate the urgency of issues that affect where you live and will do our best to minimize the stress you are under, by acting swiftly and providing you with excellent service.

What We Cover

If you are a tenant, we can help you if you are in dispute with your landlord. We have expertise in:

Possession proceedings, eviction proceedings and unlawful eviction proceedings.

We can assist you if your landlord has issued court proceedings against you or is trying to evict you. We can assist you prior to the issue of court proceedings where you have received a Notice asking you to leave your accommodation. Uncertainty in this situation is obviously a worrying and stressful time period and we aim to ensure that you are in this position for as short a time as possible.

If you are in the unfortunate position of being homeless, we can offer assistance with:

Homeless housing applications to Local Authorities.

Once you have made a homeless housing application to the Local Authority we can assist you with making representations to the Local Authority regarding your application including submitting further information to the Local Authority on your behalf or challenging any negative decision. We are experienced in the criteria Local Authorities use, maximizing your chance of success in your particular circumstances.

Reviews (s202) and Appeals against negative decisions by Local Authorities (s204).

Should the original decision go against you, we can help you to review this. If the review decision is negative also then we can assist you with lodging an appeal to the County Court provided that there are grounds to do so. It is worth noting we can do this regardless of whether we assisted you with your original homeless housing application.
