Housing

Everybody needs a roof over their head – but what can you do if your landlord is theatening you with eviction and can't afford to pay the rent or mortgage?
Perhaps your landlord won’t give you your deposit back when you’re moving out? Maybe the roof is is leaking and your landlord refuses to repair it?
There are all sorts of reasons why you might need advice from a specialist housing solicitor – whether you live in private or council housing, or you rent from a housing association.
Whatever your housing problem – if you’re the tenant, not the landlord – we’ll do our best to help you. Give us a call to arrange an appointment and if we think you have a case, we’ll help you take it forward. If you are in danger of losing your home, we will try and help you prevent it. Some people may be eligible for financial support to help them with their legal costs – and if you are one of them, we’ll help you get any assistance you are entitled to.
We also hold a weekly drop advice session for all housing issues – it’s from 10am-1pm every Tuesday at our Bridge Street office and our specialist housing team will be there to advise you.
