Housing Claims

Legal costs expertise for law firms who represent tenants against landlords, housing associations and Councils.

The Government, in their September 2021 response to the Civil Costs Consultation recognised that “…the value of housing claims can be low, but they can be complex and of profound importance to the client, many of whom are highly vulnerable, especially when a claim may result in a client losing their home.”

Here at Kain Knight, we have a specialist team assisting firms who specialise in Housing claims and who are experienced in the particular features of such claims including their complexities, importance and the often vulnerable nature of the Claimants.
