Legal Aid for Housing and Debt Matters

As Legal Aid has been subjected to considerable cutbacks over the last few months, it is important to share that Allington Hughes has been granted a Housing and Debt contract by the Legal Aid Agency to continue offering advice and assistance to those who qualify for public funding.

This will cover matters including:

  • Possession of the home (other than mortgage possession which is now referred to as debt);
  • Eviction from home (including unlawful eviction);
  • Seeking repairs to rented accommodation where the disrepair pose a serious risk of harm to health or safety;
  • Homelessness assistance for persons who are homeless or threatened with homelessness;
  • Injunctions under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 in the context of housing and ASBO matters in the County Court.
The Housing team at Allington Hughes is highly experienced and like all departments at the firm takes great pride in being approachable and personable.

If you would like some more information then please contact head of Housing department and Director  Alison Stace on 01978 291000 or email alisonstace@allingtonhughes.co.uk
