Benefit entitlement

Time and time again we meet clients who are struggling with their finances and who are sure that they are claiming all the benefits they are entitled to when, in fact, they are not.

You could be entitled to more benefits and financial assistance than you realise, particularly if you’re at risk of losing your home.

 Housing Loss

If you have received a written notice that someone is seeking possession of your home, come and access our free service.  Our team will talk to you to understand why you might be at risk of losing your home and will explain your options. We may be able to provide legal advice on:

  • illegal eviction
  • rent arrears
  • mortgage arrears
  • issues with welfare benefits payments
  • debt concerns
  • disrepair and other problems with housing conditions

And if you are required to attend a court hearing, they may be able to represent you.

If you are at risk of losing your home due to rent arrears, come for a free benefit payment health check – it could help you keep your home.

Do I have to pay for legal representation?

For anyone facing possession proceedings there is government-funded legal advice and representation (legal aid) available. Your financial situation will not affect your right to access support and you will not need to pay.

What Our Clients Say

Latest Trustpilot Reviews

I would 100% recommend this practice. Andrew was fantastic, very efficient, full of good advice and fully represented my interests. Whenever I contacted the office the staff were very accommodating and professional. I will soon be going back to have a new will made and consider them now to be “my” solicitors. I am also grateful to the estate agent that pointed me in this direction.

Absolutely outstanding performance! If you are buying or selling a house, you need Watson and Woodhouse to do the conveyancing for you. Alisha Stevenson acted on my behalf for the purchase of my home and she completed the work in five weeks! Every other solicitor I approached said it would take twelve to sixteen weeks! I cannot say thank you enough times. Excellent communication. Excellent documentation. Excellent work. I highly recommend Watson and Woodhouse if you are considering buying or selling your house.

I have just used Watson Woodhouse for my conveyancing in my recent house sale. It was a total of 3 months from 1st hitting the market to completion and key handover. The services provided by Katie Gibson and Livvie Pruden were exceptional, keeping me in the loop and updated.

Sarah, Kirsty & Laura have helped me through the hardest time of my life. Their attention to detail, professionalism, empathy and kindness will be something that will stick with me forever.

A big thank you to Richard and the team at Watson Woodhouse. Your professionalism, knowledge and positive attitude made all the difference and ensured my house sale completed. You guided me through some complex issues and your advice was always first class

Watson Woodhouse looked after the sale of one house and the purchase of another. It was an excellent service. Alisha Stevenson made what is normally a stressful situation bearable with her professionalism. She is easy to talk to, She made herself available when she could and always returned a call when she couldn’t. Good value for money.

We used Watson Woodhouse for the sale of our home and purchase of our new bungalow. We would like to thank Katie Gibson, Jackie Howard and Livvie-Mae Pruden for all their help and support during this long process which was delayed by an issue with our vendor’s solicitors. The ladies acted with patience and kindness and were totally professional at all times. Thank you all so much.
