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.

I was really grateful to have Emily on my side during my recent separation. We secured a great deal in resolving the dispute with my ex-partner which related to non-equal shares in our home that was owned in joint names without a shareholder agreement.

Jonathan Parker

Tagged solicitor Jonathan Parker

Ours was a straightforward conveyancing transaction with the potential to become complicated. Everyone involved ensured all interactions were swiftly handled. The lead solicitor and partner both made themselves available when required to answer specific questions, which was most appreciated. Excellent customer service, would recommend highly.
