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.

I use Brightstar Law for all of my HR services. As a small business with approximately 8-15 staff members, they provide all the support I need, from keeping our HR documents up to date and assisting with staff appraisals to implementing their new HR software system. The software makes it easy for both me and my team to book and track holidays, and all of our information is stored securely in one portal that is very user-friendly. I also find it incredibly reassuring that they have employment law expertise in-house. Claudia and Joe work closely together to support Enaflo in any situation that requires HR or employment law advice, giving us confidence that we're always receiving the right guidance. They provide a personal service, are highly responsive, and are always there when needed. I would highly recommend Brightstar Law to any business looking for reliable HR and employment law support.
