Practice Areas

Sophie Bell is a Partner in the Housing & Property team. She has specialised in housing law for 18 years. Her work spans a wide range of practice areas covering all aspects of landlord and tenant and social housing law, including possession and eviction, homelessness reviews and appeals, judicial review cases and claims for disrepair.

Sophie is a strong advocate of tenant’s rights and seeks to ensure those rights are fully protected. She takes an efficient and compassionate approach to all her cases, representing individuals against various opponents including councils, housing associations and private landlords.

Sophie often takes on complex cases and works with highly vulnerable clients. She has achieved settlement in a number of cases whereby tenants have achieved substantial awards of damages, in addition to the completion of works to the property.

Sophie believes that tenants should be empowered wherever possible to stand up for their rights. She works to ensure that the necessary information is made available to those who need it most to try and minimise the number of tenants and homeless individuals who do not know where to turn with their housing issues.
