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.

We recently used Progression for the purchase of our new home and had an excellent experience from start to finish. Helen and Saaima were both incredibly helpful, professional and responsive throughout the process. Saaima kept us informed at every stage, answered all our questions clearly and made what could have been a stressful time feel smooth and manageable. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a professional and friendly solicitors.

Edward Kinch

Tagged solicitor Edward Kinch

Ed is by far the most competent and reliable solicitor I've had to deal with! He is working on the case himself (unlike many other firms that delegate to paralegals), is very quick in getting back (via email or whatsapp), is very knowledgeable and always gives great advice. I have had a very poor experience with my previous solicitor and a friend recommended Skyline Law. Ed took over the case in just one day and managed to get everything ready for exchange in a week. Much recommended.
