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.

From the outset, communications were efficient, everything explained and the process was followed up with diligence and efficiency. We liked the mix of comms styles both through email and by phone.

Claire Haigh

Tagged solicitor Claire Haigh

I can't recommend Claire at McGarry Solicitors highly enough. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Claire kept me fully informed at every stage, explained everything clearly, and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Her attention to detail and proactive approach gave me complete confidence that everything was being handled properly. What really stood out was her calm, friendly manner and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. If you're looking for a solicitor who is efficient, approachable, and truly cares about her clients, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Claire and the team at McGarry Solicitors. Thank you for providing such an outstanding service.

Ania Lindsay

Tagged solicitor Ania Lindsay

I have nothing but positive things to say about Ania at HAL Solicitors and the service she provided. From the outset, she handled our conveyancing with great care and precision, making sure everything was dealt with efficiently and correctly. Ania was consistently clear, responsive, and proactive in her communication, keeping us updated throughout and making the whole process feel straightforward and well managed. It was obvious that she genuinely wanted everything to progress smoothly, which was incredibly reassuring. She is also a pleasure to deal with professional, friendly, and approachable. I would highly recommend Ania to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive conveyancing solicitor. The wider team were equally impressive, particularly Sam, who helped get us set up incredibly quickly, the entire onboarding process took less than an hour. We were referred by someone who had a great experience, and it’s easy to see why this firm comes so highly recommended.
