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.

Tagged solicitor Victoria Parnell

I can’t thank Victoria enough for the incredible service she provided during both my property sale and purchase. She was everything you hope for in a solicitor: responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in getting things right. Her updates were always clear and timely, and she explained every step in a way that made me feel completely at ease. Even when complications arose, Victoria handled them with professionalism and calm confidence, keeping the whole process on track. It’s rare to find someone who combines expertise with such kindness and reliability. Victoria is a credit to her profession, and I’m deeply grateful for everything she did.

Tagged solicitor Jessica Whitbourn

Selling our flat was not as straightforward as it was supposed to be, I guess these things never are. Jess was so supportive all the way through and kept me updated at every step. Jess has amazing patience, she is professional and approachable at all times. I would certainly recommend her services and will using her again in the future. Thank you, Jess.
