Housing
Legislation relating to housing is complex and continually changing. We are one of only two firms in Ipswich to demonstrate and maintain the necessary housing law expertise which qualifies a practice for a legal aid franchise.
We have acted for hundreds of tenants and mortgagees who have run into difficulty with rent or mortgage repayments, or had other claims. We understand the problems from both sides, having also acted in our commercial services practice for landlords, agents, housing associations and other social landlords.
Typical problems we help to solve
-
Rent or mortgage arrears
-
Defending claims for possession
-
Actions for harassment
-
Homelessness
-
Disrepair
