Our housing law services

Our lawyers and advisers can assist with many aspects of housing law and landlord and tenant disputes. Whether clients are in need of representation at court hearings, advising on the terms of their tenancy, help with court forms or just preliminary advice, our housing law specialists can assist with knowledge and care.

Central Law is teaming up with the Citizens’ Advice Bureau to provide last-minute advice and support to unrepresented tenants at Chelmsford County Court (when in-person hearings are resumed), which is just one of our ongoing partnerships with organisations supporting those in need.

We are happy to provide advice to landlords or tenants, subject to ensuring we have no conflict of interest. At Central Law we think access to good, low-cost legal services should be universal, and believe everyone benefits when both sides are properly advised.

We also provide the latest updates on housing law, helpful guides and reports on cases we’re working on – click here to find out more.
