How Our Housing Service Works
Step 1: 10‑Minute Discovery Call (Complimentary)
We start with a short phone call to get a quick overview of your situation. You explain your housing issue and what outcome you’re looking for. This helps us ensure we can assist you and allows us to gather the key facts needed for the full assessment.
Step 2: 30‑Minute Assessment Call (Paid)
Following the discovery call, you book a 30‑minute assessment call. During this call we:
-
Discuss the details of your case and any documentation you have
-
Explain the relevant housing law that applies to your circumstances
-
Outline your options and what next steps are available
-
Answer any questions you have about the process
Within this call you receive a clear verbal assessment of your position. This helps you decide whether to proceed with further formal written work.
Step 3: Optional Written Follow‑Up
If further assistance is appropriate, such as drafting a complaint, preparing a homelessness review submission, or writing formal representations, we will quote a separate fixed fee. There is no obligation to continue; you decide whether to instruct us.
