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.

Lewis Chapman

Tagged solicitor Lewis Chapman

I found Lewis Chapman to be extremely professional, communicative, responsive, easy to understand and highly efficient. He took complete ownership of my case from beginning to the end, giving me expert advice all along the way and none of my queries were ever a big ask for him. He understood and articulated all the issues exceptionally well, and he dealt with my claim with such ease, bringing it to a swift and amicable conclusion, gaining respect from all parties concerned along the way. I highly recommend Lewis Chapman as I have had a very positive experience with Hopkins Solicitors because of him.
