Housing

Our Housing Group

42BR's Housing team includes three part-time judges, a Committee member of the Social Housing Law Association, as well as a founder member of the Social Housing Law Association.

This highly experienced group appears in, and advises on, not only the common types of housing dispute, but also more specialised disputes such as HMO licensing and licence breaches, environmental law and discrimination.

We regularly act for local authorities, housing associations, housing trusts, RMCs, portfolio and private landlords, and individuals.

We provide clear tactical advice and representation at short notice, such as when seeking, or responding to, injunctions.

Here is a summary of the areas of Housing Law in which we are regularly instructed:

  • Possession
  • Housing discrimination
  • Disrepair
  • Anti-social behaviour, including injunctions
  • Unlawful eviction
  • Homelessness
  • HMO licensing, including HMO licensing breaches
  • Selective licensing, including selective licensing breaches
  • Environmental law
  • Right to buy

Our Housing Group regularly present webinars in which they cover a range of Housing Law topics. You can view the recordings of these webinars on our Youtube channel, as well as download the slides.
