Top 10 of 4,694 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.

Hay & Kilner have a reputation for being great and they were exactly that. Because of the way they are a large and well established firm, there were never any disruptions to the process of sorting our house sale or new purchase. The whole process was, in fact, extremely fast. The Hay & Kilner team kept us informed every step of the way and they were thoughtful and quick in doing so. It would would absolutely be fair to describe them as meeting or even exceeding the gold standard for conveyancing solicitors. The next time we need to sell or buy a property, we’ll return to Hay & Kilner.

Lindsey Devine

Tagged solicitor Lindsey Devine

I have worked with Lindsey and the team on several occasions, both for conveyancing advice and in relation to preparing a last will & testament. Hugely impressed by the professionalism and responsiveness of the team. I always felt that I was in excellent hands and that Lindsey acted in my best interests. Moving home and considering future assets can be stressful but the team really took all the anxiety out of the process and ensured I was always clear about the process. Skilled, knowledgeable and highly recommended team. Thank you!
