A dedicated podcast series from the Social Housing team at Hugh James. We talk about the latest sector developments and topical issues to help provide some practical guidance on all aspects affecting housing associations. We are lawyers so we will touch on the legal standpoints surrounding the topics, but don’t worry, we’ll keep the legalese to a minimum.
