Law firms ranked by client reviews

Council housing work covers local authority housing matters, including securing or defending a council tenancy, challenging allocations or transfers, and addressing homelessness, disrepair, rent arrears and eviction under English housing law. A solicitor in this area gathers evidence, negotiates with the local council, drafts applications and representations, prepares possession or review documents, and represents clients in courts, tribunals and housing appeals. It often intersects with welfare benefits and homelessness strategies.

Where a solicitor protects your position

A missed deadline or a wrongful decision can mean losing or delaying a home, exposure to eviction, or inadequate housing remedies. A solicitor’s role includes safeguarding deadlines, ensuring enforcement of local-authority duties, presenting evidence to housing panels, and pursuing appropriate remedies under housing legislation to protect the client’s housing position.

Arj Arul

Tagged solicitor Arj Arul

My Daughter had to break her student lease from a Landlord in Bristol. Not knowing where we stood in this situation, Arj from Spires Legal was able to advise us on the best avenue to take. No matter what the Landlord did or did not do, Arj's advice meant we were able to mitigate a bigger liability. It was good to speak to someone who know's their stuff, and comforting to know you are being given sound advice. Spires Legal are like your own family lawyer who we WILL use again. - Thanks Arj you were brilliant

Donna BeaumontJohn Leslie Brian

Tagged solicitors Donna Beaumont and John Leslie Brian

Looking to move to our final home John Brian and Donna Beaumont at Sherrards were our obvious go to solicitors having helped in the past with children’s house purchases. Good choice - we had lots of buyer and seller interactions - we had 3 buyers who all ‘started the process’ and we lost one house on the way (lucky as our final home is better!) Donna and John guided us all the way - how many solicitors will send info evenings and weekends and were happy to help throughout! Professional , Efficient ,ever Helpful and above all Considerate - can honestly say they never broke a promise and took on so much of the stress a home move always generates Thank You and if you are thinking of moving and need a solicitor then in our view they are ‘the very best’
