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.

This is the second time I have used Greenwoods. I first used them back in 2020 when I purchased my first house and they were amazing then. I have just used them for a sale and purchase transaction and they have been faultless. They are good at communicating and they happily answer any questions you have. Any jargon that needs clarifying, just ask and they will happily explain what things means. I would definitely use Greenwoods again.
