Your Housing Rights

That’s where our team at Waltons comes into play. Our legal advisers may be able to help you if you are homeless, at risk of homelessness or if the home that you currently occupy is either not suitable or requires repair. Everyone wants a safe and comfortable home; however, this fundamental right is not always met. But, with so many complex legal aspects and issues to deal with, it’s imperative to make sure you are getting as much support and protection as possible.

From your first enquiry to the final decision, we will be completely transparent with you on every step of the journey, with a friendly yet professional approach to housing law. At Waltons, our housing lawyers have many years of experience when assisting clients with legal housing disputes to ensure your issue gets solved in the shortest possible time.
