What a housing solicitor does for you.
Urgent advice when it matters
Eviction, repossession, and homelessness situations require fast legal advice. A solicitor will advise on your immediate options — including emergency court applications where needed.
Defences you may not know about
Section 21 notices can be invalid for technical reasons. Disrepair gives tenants a right to withhold rent in some circumstances. A solicitor will identify every defence available before proceedings progress.
Compensation claims
Disrepair, unlawful eviction, and harassment are not just grounds for a court order — they can result in significant compensation awards. A solicitor will quantify your claim and pursue it properly.
Negotiated resolution
Many housing and property disputes are resolved without a full trial — through negotiation, mediation, or a consent order. A solicitor will identify the fastest route to resolution and protect your position throughout.
Court representation
Where proceedings are unavoidable, a solicitor will represent you at county court hearings, Tribunal proceedings, and the Upper Tribunal on appeal — ensuring your case is properly presented.
Legal aid where available
Legal aid remains available for certain housing matters — including homelessness, unlawful eviction, and mortgage repossession. A solicitor will confirm at the outset whether legal aid applies and help you access it.
