Initial Review and legal advice
No matter how complex your case is, we will carry out a comprehensive review and provide you with a document which sets out the legal and factual issues that need to be dealt with. We will give you detailed legal advice on potential ways to resolve your housing dispute.

ABOUT US
We are a not-for-profit organisation established in 2022 to provide affordable legal assistance through a dedicated team of qualified lawyers and trainee lawyers who specialise in healthcare regulation. Our work is part-funded by innovative partnerships with leading UK universities.
We recognise the stress that comes with facing losing your home or being forced to live in substandard accommodation. The financial pressures, the uncertainties of not knowing what the outcome will be and whether you can continue to live in your home… and the combined effect that all of these things can have on your mental health. We also know that legal fees are just an additional worry on top of everything else.
Our fees are kept as low as possible so that we can help as many people as possible. Our work is covered by professional indemnity insurance. We are not required to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
