"SLS Solicitors provided thorough assistance in my housing disrepair case and achieved a successful outcome for us. Several law firms, if not many, in a toxic region wouldn’t take on this case. Toxic, as in, unpurposeful and health hazardous until I recollect Justin Bieber’s PURPOSE album. Did my research again, discovered SLS and left it to a responsible team. Not religious fanatics, displaying unity in progress for themselves.

All the staff from beginning to end were friendly, helpful and efficient. I would highly recommend SLS solicitors for housing disrepair to anyone who feels like their landlord are not listening to your housing problems. SLS have resolved and managed to get a settlement agreed within two months from when I contacted them. I was so frustrated with my landlord for the past seven years I have had problems with leaks and damages. They weren’t willing to resolve the ongoing problems until SLS got involved. Now my repair are being dealt with and I received compensation for the stress they caused which I really wasn’t expecting. THANK YOU SLS, Rebecca and the team!! I am encouraging others tenants in my building to contact SLS.
