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.

From the outset, communications were efficient, everything explained and the process was followed up with diligence and efficiency. We liked the mix of comms styles both through email and by phone.

I can't recommend Claire at McGarry Solicitors highly enough. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Claire kept me fully informed at every stage, explained everything clearly, and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Her attention to detail and proactive approach gave me complete confidence that everything was being handled properly. What really stood out was her calm, friendly manner and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. If you're looking for a solicitor who is efficient, approachable, and truly cares about her clients, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Claire and the team at McGarry Solicitors. Thank you for providing such an outstanding service.

Tagged solicitor Ania Lindsay
I have nothing but positive things to say about Ania at HAL Solicitors and the service she provided. From the outset, she handled our conveyancing with great care and precision, making sure everything was dealt with efficiently and correctly. Ania was consistently clear, responsive, and proactive in her communication, keeping us updated throughout and making the whole process feel straightforward and well managed. It was obvious that she genuinely wanted everything to progress smoothly, which was incredibly reassuring. She is also a pleasure to deal with professional, friendly, and approachable. I would highly recommend Ania to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive conveyancing solicitor. The wider team were equally impressive, particularly Sam, who helped get us set up incredibly quickly, the entire onboarding process took less than an hour. We were referred by someone who had a great experience, and it’s easy to see why this firm comes so highly recommended.
