We help with disputes close to home.
Our clients include housing associations and a large number of
local authorities, in their capacity as social landlords. The
obligations they are under are onerous as they endeavour to meet
modern standards of habitability in a wide variety of housing
stock. Where tenants allege that these obligations have not been
met, actions raised include damages for inconvenience, for personal
injury such as asthma and allergic reactions, and for specific
property defects to be remedied. In such circumstances we are
trusted by our clients to reach an equitable solution to the
problem.
Our expertise and experience in this field is
well-known.
Having long experience of representing social landlords, both
through insurers and by direct instruction, our expertise is
recognised by those involved in the housing sector. We have
developed relationships of trust with charities and agencies who
assist tenants, and we deliver training directly to our clients'
staff to improve the handling of disputes from the earliest stage.
We are proud of our comprehensive and specialist service which we
consider to be amongst the best in the market.
