Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, BWF Solicitors can help you all aspects of your legal housing needs.

Our legal specialists can assist you with all aspects of Housing Law from advice about your legal rights through to representation at court proceedings.  If you need assistance with a dispute, advise on your legal responsibilities, support on contractual issues or representation regarding an issue with your council then our residential law specialists can help.

We cover most aspects of landlord & tenant work including the following:

• Applications to set aside possession orders or suspend warrants of possession (evictions).
