    Property Standards covers the legal duties to ensure a private or social property meets minimum safety, health and workmanship requirements. A solicitor in this area helps clients navigate compliance with housing standards, safety regulations and related enforcement actions. They draft and negotiate notices, check compliance with building, electrical and fire safety rules, review tenancy terms for standards breaches, and represent clients in enforcement proceedings or appeals. The work is shaped by local authority regimes, safety schemes and tenancy duties.

    “A thorough and professional service. The solicitor understood exactly what was needed and prepared a clear Deed of Variation that could be acted on by the executors. It took longer than the estimated 10 days, largely due to the unavoidable delays due to the long use of the paper post system.”
