Top 10 of 4,694 law firms for Fitness for Human Habitation, Housing & Property

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Fitness for Human Habitation describes the standard every home must meet to be considered suitable to live in. It arises from the Fitness for Human Habitation Act, which builds on the private rented sector framework to ensure properties are fit for occupancy. A solicitor practises in this area by reviewing a property's condition, advising on breaches, and guiding remedies when a home fails to meet the standard. They handle notices, negotiations, and potential court actions to secure repairs or compensation for tenants.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A breach means defects such as damp, excess damp mould, inadequate heating, ventilation or water supply, falling plaster and structural problems can render a dwelling unfit. A solicitor helps secure professional assessments, liaises with landlords or managing agents, and pursues remedies through statutory processes or court proceedings, backed by professional accountability and client protections.

Kiri Kkoshi

Tagged solicitor Kiri Kkoshi

Jane Baker, Vicki Lambert, and the whole wonderful conveyancing team at Healys (Kiri, Sam, Mariana, Alfie, and Kimberley to name a few!) have been our absolute heroes through the complex sale of our flat and purchase of our first house. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this team are some of my absolute favourite people, and I trust them entirely. They are fantastically skilled at their jobs, give timely insightful communication, and are deeply caring. Being part of a chain is unbelievably stressful, and their good humour and expertise was a sanity anchor through it all. Healys tend to have a large chain in copy, which means that asks and emails are always picked up super promptly. They keep really diligent records and this has always meant that the communication has been fantastic. They've gone above and beyond numerous times for us, adjusting and responding professionally to frankly surreal and unique situations caused by other parts of the chain - Kiri Kkoshi, Healy's Head of Real Estate, even intervened personally at one point to resolve an issue. We used their services when we bought our flat originally four years ago and naturally ran straight to them when it became time to sell! I would never use anyone else at this point, and would highly recommend them to anyone working out who to go to for their conveyancing needs. Jane, Vicki, Kiri, Sam, Mariana, Alfie, Kimberley and everyone else at Healys who worked with us these past 10 months - thank you. Truly could not have done it without you.

Graeme Booth

Tagged solicitor Graeme Booth

Graeme dealt with the sale of my late mother's house in Cornwall. Under difficult circumstances of COVID, the service was excellent. He was always responsive to any questions/enquiries and even when he was away from the office he made sure there was continuity, resulting in a prompt sale completion. Thank you

Katy Raven

Tagged solicitor Katy Raven

We found Burnett Barker to be both efficient and helpful throughout our recent successful house purchase and sale, particularly given the extra pressure due to the covid restrictions and the associated reduced stamp duty period coming to an end. Katy Raven provided an excellent personal service and always responded readily to requests for information on progress.

Natalie Charles

Tagged solicitor Natalie Charles

My solicitor was Natalie Charles and she have been excellent, very attentive and very responsive. I am not the most patient client, I know that, and Natalie have been so patient and dealt everything very well. No fault at all. I have already recommended her to my connections.
