Burd Ward Solicitor’s housing law specialist Paula Suckley reassures families who are in danger of losing their homes…
If you have received letters from your mortgage company or landlord threatening to take you to court or even received papers from the court then you MUST seek legal advice.
The under occupation charge, otherwise known as the bedroom tax, has seen possession cases rocket in recent months.
Many people are frightened that appointing a solicitor to act on their behalf could be hugely costly if they are not eligible for public funding.
