Top 10 of 4,693 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.

David Chapman

Tagged solicitor David Chapman

We used Amicus Law for the recent sale of our house and purchase of our new property here in Minehead. David Chapman and his team provided excellent service. They dealt with everything very quickly and kept us fully informed at every stage. David was always available to answer any queries or concerns. He worked hard at the end to make sure we completed on the given day as there was a problem further down the chain. I would recommend Amicus Law and would certainly use them again.
