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.
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.

Throughout the process of the sale of my mother-in-laws property Hannah has worked to a very high standard overcoming a number of issues raised by the purchaser’s solicitor. I would have no hesitation in recommending both Hannah and FJG to anybody who is seeking conveyancing services. My thanks again to Hannah.
