Housing

Position

Sadaf  has extensive experience in possession, homelessness, disrepair, and judicial review matters. Many of the housing cases she deals with concern overlapping duties owed under other legislation including the Children Act, Care Act and Equality Act. She frequently assists those with no recourse to public funds, asylum seekers and victims of trafficking with accessing suitable accommodation.

Sadaf has a particular interest in the area of homelessness and obtains successful outcomes in many such cases at the review or appeal stage. A case where she successfully challenged a negative review decision which found her client, a domestic abuse survivor to be intentionally homeless concerned the local authority’s failure to follow its own policies and the national strategy on domestic violence. The local authority overturned its decision in September 2018, and on 12 September 2019 the local authority apologised to her client on a BBC show for the delay in accepting the full homelessness duty towards her client.

Safad qualified as a solicitor in 2011 and joined Duncan Lewis Solicitors in 2020.
