Allocations & Homelessness

"Hardwicke Building is increasingly emerging as a force to be reckoned with in the field of social housing." - Chambers UK (2009)

According to independent research by Chambers UK, Hardwicke Building “distinguishes itself from many other sets with its business-focused approach. Boasting a number of RSL and local authority clients, it handles a substantial volume of homelessness and housing benefit appeals.”

We assist clients with all aspects of housing work, including homelessness and allocations appeals, judicial review, anti-social behaviour, and the impact of immigration, EU status and public law on housing issues. We also have expertise in Human Rights Act and public law defences to otherwise mandatory possession claims in the light of cases like Kay-v-Lambeth LBC: Price-v-Leeds City Council (2006) 4 All ER 128 and Doherty -v-Birmingham City Council (2009) 1 All ER 653.
