Housing issues
Urgent housing and homelessness guidance, including support with deadlines and next steps where Legal Aid may apply.
If you have a hearing date, eviction notice, or homelessness deadline, speak to a solicitor early.
Practical housing advice when time matters
Housing problems often come with strict deadlines. A solicitor can help you understand your options, what to do next, and whether Legal Aid may be available depending on your situation and the type of case.
If you are facing eviction, threatened homelessness, or urgent accommodation issues, getting advice early can help you avoid missed steps. A solicitor can explain what documents are important and what actions may be needed now.
Note: Legal Aid depends on the type of housing issue and eligibility rules. A solicitor will assess your circumstances and explain what support may be available.
