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.

As a first time buyer, the firm made my journey easier. Ashwariya Kuhendiran was very professional, proactive, and patient, responding to my queries on time. Vas solicitors sought my interest through the process, and I highly recommend them.

Very happy with their performance overall - very pragmatic and practical approach, and coped really well when it became apparent (at the lat minute, virtually - with 7 days to go) that the timescale of the sale needed to be compressed for tax purposes.
