Not all options will be open to everyone, but your dedicated Solicitor will discuss these with you in more detail once they’ve made their initial assessment.
Head of Housing Law & Partner
We understand that you don’t want to add funding worries to the problems you already have and. So, we’ll always clearly set out the options available to you as soon as we know the details of your case. We want to give you every assurance that we would never incur costs on your behalf without your full agreement and knowledge.
This is an arrangement where we agree to take your case and won’t recover costs from you if the case isn’t successful. These arrangements may be appropriate where, if you win the case, costs would be payable by your opponent.
This means that even if you win, you wouldn’t have to pay the costs as these could be recovered from the other side. Conditional Fee Agreements (CFAs) are most used for disrepair cases but may be available for other matters too. Various terms and conditions apply to CFAs, but these can be discussed in further detail with your Solicitor.
A reassuring and professional experience from the first contact. A team of well informed and patient people. With an excellent understanding of what is required.

We can assist you in assessing whether you are eligible for legal aid and if you are, we can make the application and manage all matters related to funding on your behalf.
We understand that you may be unable to obtain legal aid or a CFA but that you may also be unable to commit to paying for our services at an hourly rate. To try and assist people in this situation we offer a bespoke fixed-fee scheme where we’ll agree a specified price for specific work, prior to any steps being undertaken.
This can often assist our clients in getting the necessary advice to manage their cases themselves or may lead to further work being carried out on an alternative funding basis. How much the fixed fee would be will be decided on a case by case basis and can be discussed with your Solicitor.
