Accessing legal aid for housing matters
At Mang & Co Solicitors we undertake work funded by the Legal Aid Agency (LAA). Public funding (formerly known as Legal Aid) is a system of government funding, administered by the LAA, for those who cannot afford to pay for legal advice and representation. Mang & Co currently hold a Legal Aid Contract with the Legal Aid Agency in the area of Housing matters (excluding Residential or Commercial property matters). Legal Aid is available for housing matters with merits and for those who satisfy the means test. Emergency legal aid can be applied on exceptional cases. Please contact us so that we can assess whether you satisfy the Legal Aid Merits Test and the Financial Eligibility Test, or to generally discuss your requirements.
Legal Aid can provide vital support for individuals facing urgent or complex housing issues, particularly where their home or wellbeing may be at risk. Our team will guide you through the assessment process, explain the criteria in clear terms, and help you understand what evidence may be required to support your application. Where emergency funding is appropriate, we act swiftly to ensure that immediate steps can be taken to protect your position.
If you do not qualify for Legal Aid, we will discuss alternative funding options with you so that you can make an informed decision about how to proceed. Our aim is to ensure that every client receives clear, practical advice on the most suitable route for their circumstances, whether through public funding or private instruction. Whatever your situation, we are committed to helping you access the legal support you need.
