Please keep in mind that our email advice service is intended as:

• GENERAL ADVICE ONLY - complex cases will need direct contact with an adviser, either by phone or face-to-face discussion
• ONE-OFF SERVICE - if you need additional advice following our response, we will ask you to call our advice line
• INITIAL CONTACT - if you have previously used our services, please get in touch with us over the phone.

Our average response time is 3 working days.

Please note that we can only respond to queries relating to housing in Northern Ireland as housing legislation in other parts of the UK differs from that in Northern Ireland.

Our advice will be based on the information you provide, so please take care filling in the form below. Make sure you read and understand our terms and conditions before you begin.
