If you’re at risk of losing your home you can get free legal support through the government’s Housing Loss Prevention Advice Service.

Accessing support as soon as possible can help you resolve your situation.

If you have received written notice someone is seeking possession of your home, you’re entitled to free legal advice. A housing expert will talk to you to understand why you might be at risk of losing your home and explain your options.

Housing experts 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

They may also be able to represent you if you are required to attend a court hearing.
