Our Housing team

Everybody deserves to live in well maintained and safe accommodation, but unfortunately disputes with a housing association or landlord can seriously undermine the prospects of keeping your home.

Whether you lease or rent in the public, social or private sectors, should a dispute arise we will advise and represent you confidently and objectively – and in a way that, where possible, preserves relationships and puts your housing needs first.

With significant professional experience gained working with housing associations and other housing providers, our barristers are familiar with the issues that arise and how best to resolve them, through mediation, negotiation and, where necessary, through Tribunals or Courts.

Many of our Direct Access housing barristers are members of the Social Housing Law Association so you can be absolutely sure we are giving you up-to-date and highly focused advice.

Here are some of the ways in which we can help you:

• Appealing against evictions or denial of access to rehousing
• Disputed eligibility for public housing
• Disputes over rent or service charges
• Equality Act claims
• Environmental Protection Act
• Houses in Multiple Occupation
• Claims for poor maintenance
• Action over Health & Safety issues
• Disputes over retained deposits or claims for property damage
• Complaints about noise disturbance and other nuisances
