Duncan Lewis housing solicitors are one of the leading providers of Legal Aid housing advice in the UK.

In the majority of cases where an applicant is homeless and wishes to challenge their local authorities or appeal a housing decision, they will most likely be eligible for Legal Aid.

If a housing client is not eligible for Legal Aid, Duncan Lewis is usually able to offer a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) and a set fee for the initial assessment of a housing case, so that our clients always know what they will be paying.

Legal Aid is not available for all housing matters, however it does cover many homelessness and other housing matters including; 

• Cases where the home is at an immediate risk (excluding those who are squatting)
• Homelessness assistance
• Housing disrepair cases that pose a serious risk to life or health and safety
• Disrepair cases involving anti-social behaviour in the county court.
