Deputies and Solicitors
In trusted partnership with Deputies and Solicitors operating within the Court of Protection, and those managing Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury cases.
wHO WE WORK WITH
At John Ford Group, we work in trusted partnership with Deputies and Solicitors operating within the Court of Protection, and those managing Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury cases.
We recognise that your work goes beyond legal and financial management, it involves ensuring clients have safe, suitable homes that support independence and dignity. Whether a property is owned, being purchased or rented, our specialist team helps you deliver appropriate housing outcomes with transparency and care.
Our role often begins early in the process, when accommodation decisions are being explored. We conduct detailed property assessments, covering both permanent and rental options, to determine which route best suits the client’s needs and funding availability. These assessments consider accessibility potential, structural adaptability, and ongoing cost implications, giving Deputies and Solicitors the information needed to make sound, defensible decisions under Court of Protection standards.
Once funding is approved, we manage the entire adaptation journey from feasibility studies and design through to construction and quality assurance. For rental properties, our expertise is particularly valuable, we liaise with landlords and agents to obtain permissions, deliver turnkey temporary adaptations, and ensure compliance with both tenancy agreements and accessibility legislation. Our goal is to create a safe, fully functioning environment, whether for long-term settlement or as a transitional living space.
In Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury cases, we often support Deputies and legal teams in establishing both interim and permanent housing plans, allowing clients to live comfortably while litigation continues.
Our documentation, cost reports, and structured communication ensure every decision remains fully traceable and defensible to the Court or approving bodies.
We take pride in removing barriers for Deputies and Solicitors by managing the intricate details, liaising with architects, coordinating site work, and maintaining meticulous cost control. You can rely on thorough reporting, budget accountability, and continuous collaboration throughout, whether the property is owned or rented. With over 16 years of experience in specialist adaptation, John Ford Group provides peace of mind that each home solution, temporary or permanent, is safe, compliant, and tailored to the individual’s needs.
