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.

Nicola Cawthorne

Tagged solicitor Nicola Cawthorne

We have dealt with Barker Gotelee on the sale of two properties to date plus the purchase of another two properties. We cannot speak highly enough of Nicola and Bridget, they are efficient, communicate in a timely manner and are always approachable. We felt that Nicola had our best interests at heart throughout the process and wouldn't hesitate to use her again.
