Top 10 of 4,694 law firms for Main Housing Duty, Housing & Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This covers the local authority’s main homelessness duty in England, including how a person is assessed for homelessness, what accommodation and support may be offered, and the steps to challenge or review the duty if the initial decision is unfavorable.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The main housing duty arises when a person is found to be unintentionally homeless or threatened with homelessness. A solicitor would help gather and present evidence to the local authority, apply for a review or appeal if the duty is discharged incorrectly, and advise on securing interim or final accommodation under the Housing Act 1996 and related regulations. They may also liaise with housing options, tenancy support, and, where needed, the county court for remedies if decisions are disputed.

Massive shout out to Charlotte and Zhanna at NPS who worked tirelessly through a long and at times very tedious process selling my flat. They were always very friendly and punctual with their correspondence and advice and also offered great value.

The TV Edwards team provided outstanding support in helping my disabled brother with his homelessness claim to the Local Authority. From the very beginning, they demonstrated a high level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise. All of our queries were answered promptly, and we always felt informed about the progress of the case. Important steps were not delayed and my brother’s circumstances were clearly and effectively presented to the Local Authority. The team handled everything with great professionalism and sensitivity, particularly given my brother’s vulnerability. I would recommend this firm to anyone who needs knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate legal assistance, especially in matters involving housing or vulnerable individuals.

I had the pleasure of working with Jessica Malone for our recent house purchase conveyancing transaction, which was successfully completed on 13th June. I want to express my sincere appreciation for her professionalism and straightforward approach, which truly stood out throughout the entire process. Jessica's expertise and ability to explain the intricacies of the conveyancing process in a clear and concise manner were instrumental in making me feel confident and reassured at every step. Her extraordinary abilities and unwavering commitment are deserving of recognition, and I will undoubtedly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance in the future.
