Housing disrepair refers to a situation where a rented property is in a state of disrepair, causing it to be unsafe, unhealthy, or uncomfortable to live in. Common examples include damp, mould, faulty heating, structural damage, or broken plumbing.

Our services operate on a “No Win, No Fee” basis. This means if your claim is unsuccessful, you do not have to pay any legal fees. We will always discuss any potential costs with you before starting the process.

Evidence can include photographs of the disrepair, medical records if the disrepair has impacted your or your family’s health, correspondence with your landlord and any independent reports or assessments.

Compensation can be claimed for personal injury and/or health issues that have been caused by disrepair, damage to personal belongings, inconvenience and the cost of repairs or alternative accommodation.

Yes, the time limit for making a claim is up to six years from the date of disrepair or three years for a personal injury claim. However, it is best to start the process as soon as possible.

The length of a claim depends on the complexity of the case, the level of cooperation from the landlord and the amount of evidence available. This makes it difficult to put a time frame on the claim and it could range from a few months to over a year.
