Ad Hoc Advice

We understand the issues facing you as a result of economic pressures and legislative changes, and how these impacts on your ability to deliver services efficiently and within budget. We know that you need to react quickly to any changes, and we aim to assist you with that process to ensure that you fulfil your obligations as a social housing landlord. We can assist with advice on a range of issues including:

Policy Issues

As we have acted for social housing landlords for over three decades, we understand that prompt action is required to ensure that your policies are up to date and reflect any changes introduced by legislation. We can assist you by providing clear advice on your current policies as well as drafting new policies and procedures. If necessary, we can also offer training on current and proposed legislative changes and the effects on your policies.

Tenancy Issues

We can advise you on your existing tenancy agreements as well as drafting new agreements to comply with legislative changes. Our tenancy health check service ensures that your agreements reflect your organisation’s current aims and policies and are compliant.

We can also advise you on all tenancy issues such as:

• Ending Introductory or fixed term tenancies
• Demoting a tenancy for anti-social behaviour
• Service of notices
• Terminating Licences
• Repair and maintenance obligations
• Evictions

Income Issues

Whether via our Housing Management team, our Leasehold services team, or J&P Credit Solutions — our specialist debt recovery department, we can represent you with regard to all income related issues such as rent arrears recovery, service charge disputes, charging orders or managing historic debt, for example.
