Defined legal service
Loss of the right to use housing
Reviewing the basis of occupation, family and contractual relations, actual residence and the housing rules in force after the 2026 reform.
The problem you need to resolve
- an owner disputes a former occupant’s continuing right
- a substantive dispute prevents a registration step
What you receive
- a position and evidence plan
- an agreed application or claim
What we do
- review the questionnaire, deadlines and agreed document list
- separate verified facts from assumptions and define the legal objective
- title and basis of occupation
- reasons for absence and agreements
- administrative or court route
What we need from you
- title document
- resident-registration extract
- family and use documents
- absence and payment evidence
- answer focused follow-up questions and verify the factual information
- do not send a full set of sensitive documents before the conflict-of-interest check and agreement of a protected channel
Fees
- Fees depend on the facts and scope of support. After a short discussion, we explain what the work includes and its cost. Fees are agreed before work begins.
- A possible first stage is a written action plan: review of agreed documents, legal assessment, next steps, deadlines, risks and alternatives.
- Additional objectives, extensive materials and foreign-language documents are discussed separately.
- Court fees and other mandatory payments are separate from the lawyer's fee. Notarial, translation, valuation and expert costs are also agreed separately.
What may change the route
- objections or new claims from another party
- missing, inconsistent or newly received documents
- the need for valuation, expert evidence, a notarial or registration step
- existing court or enforcement proceedings, a missed or imminent deadline
- former Housing Code provisions are not presented as a universal current basis after the 2026 reform
When this service is not suitable
- registration can sometimes be ended administratively
- children and special housing require separate assessment
How we report progress
- we agree the communication channel before work begins
- we report receipt of materials, completion of the assessment, document readiness and the next required action
- where new facts or extra work arise, we first explain the effect on timing and fees and ask for your approval
