This area covers how social housing is allocated and how transfers between council or housing association homes are handled. It includes eligibility for council accommodation, the local housing authority’s allocation scheme, bid or measurement of need, and the process for moving a household from one property to another. A solicitor in this field drafts and reviews applications, helps gather evidence of need (income, medical or family circumstances), and advises on the rights and limitations within the Housing Act and the allocation framework.
The decision to grant or refuse a transfer or allocation can be outcome-determinative for a household’s housing security, affecting eligibility for priority housing, access to adapted properties, and timing of move. A solicitor’s role includes explaining deadlines, securing interim housing where needed, challenging unlawful refusals, and ensuring compliance with the local authority’s scheme and statutory homelessness duties.

This is the second time I have used Greenwoods. I first used them back in 2020 when I purchased my first house and they were amazing then. I have just used them for a sale and purchase transaction and they have been faultless. They are good at communicating and they happily answer any questions you have. Any jargon that needs clarifying, just ask and they will happily explain what things means. I would definitely use Greenwoods again.

Tagged solicitor Fay Rothery
I was very uncertain about which direction to take when I first sought advice from Fay, but her assertive, clear manner immediately helped me find clarity. She speaks with confidence, and it shows in the way she frames her answers — direct, structured, and genuinely reassuring. Her guidance made my decision‑making straightforward, and I left the one‑hour consultation feeling informed, supported, and relieved. I’m delighted with the service I received and would happily recommend her to anyone seeking clear, confident legal advice.
