Common questions

What funding work do you do in this area?

We act for both high-street lenders and housing associations in the negotiation of funding documents and underpinning security documents.
We have extensive experience in large scale project work in this area ensuring the release of substantial collateral to housing associations, supporting their continued build projects funded by bank debt.

Can you deal with cases where a tenant is engaging in anti-social behaviour which is affecting other tenants on a social housing scheme?

Yes. We advise on a wide range of anti-social behaviour matters, including nuisance, harassment, threats, persistent noise, criminal or disruptive behaviour and breaches of tenancy conditions.

Depending on the circumstances, legal remedies may include possession proceedings, injunction applications or other enforcement measures.

We can also advise on evidence gathering, case management and the legal risks associated with taking action.
