Top 10 of 4,693 law firms for Decent Homes Standard, Housing & Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

The Decent Homes Standard covers the minimum standard of housing conditions for many social and private sector tenancies in England, focusing on safety, repair, thermal comfort and habitability. A solicitor practising in this area helps tenants and former tenants challenge poor conditions, pursue repairs, and resolve disputes with landlords or local authorities. They may draft and serve notices, gather evidence of disrepair, negotiate with housing providers, and, where necessary, apply to the courts or tribunals to enforce improvements or compensation. The work is shaped by housing regulations, local authority interventions, and potential entitlement to housing assistance or remedies under housing and tenancy law.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The actionable issues include unsafe and insanitary living conditions, serious disrepair, and the risk of eviction where a landlord fails to comply with the standard. A solicitor provides guidance on deadlines, the gathering of evidence, and the appropriate steps to secure meaningful improvements or remedies within the statutory framework.

Katy Raven

Tagged solicitor Katy Raven

We found Burnett Barker to be both efficient and helpful throughout our recent successful house purchase and sale, particularly given the extra pressure due to the covid restrictions and the associated reduced stamp duty period coming to an end. Katy Raven provided an excellent personal service and always responded readily to requests for information on progress.

Mandy Stark

Tagged solicitor Mandy Stark

I’m a branch manager for a local estate agent and I recently had a particularly challenging case that required urgent attention and swift action. Other local firms told me they couldn’t accommodate the request, but Tollers—and Mandy in particular—stepped up and handled it brilliantly. They turned the matter around and reached the point of exchange in under three weeks! I work with solicitors daily, but I have never encountered a conveyancer as proactive and efficient as Mandy and her team. If I could give 10 stars, I would! I’ll be recommending Tollers without hesitation moving forward—I’m beyond impressed!

We would highly recommend Tianna for conveyancing services. She assisted with our property sale/purchase and offered a very professional service. She was always quick to respond to queries and kept us updated with proceedings during a lengthy process.
