Homelessness

Homelessness

At Watson Woodhouse we have a team of specialist solicitors, dedicated to helping situations of homelessness across Middlesbrough, Teesside and the North East. If you have found yourself in a difficult position and are considered as legally homeless, please get in touch with us today to discuss your circumstances.

Homelessness Solicitors

Should the following situations arise, through no fault of your own, you are considered legally homeless:

  • There is nowhere available for you to live
  • You have been unlawfully evicted by your landlord
  • You’re unable to return home due to risk of physical, psychological or sexual abuse
  • Your living conditions are extremely poor

If you resonate with any of the above it’s important to seek professional advice immediately. Our specialist solicitors will help you make a homeless application to the local authority to be assessed.

Homelessness & Priority Needs

In determining whether you’re able to be re-housed, the local authority will consider priority needs such as:

  • Any dependent children you have living with you
  • If you or someone you live with is pregnant
  • You’re vulnerable due to age or disability

At Watson Woodhouse our knowledgeable housing department will assist with your homeless application. We’ll also provide advice and guidance on the likely outcome of an application and whether rehousing is an option for you.

Why use a solicitor?

  • Re-housing and the law can be a complex process. A solicitor has the relevant legal knowledge to help you. 
  • A solicitor will communicate and negotiate with all relevant parties on your behalf.
  • If required, a solicitor will represent you in court.
